I didn’t read the article, so don’t know if it goes into this, but the venom destroys tissue. So the real danger is infection where the venom is injected (could be deep!) leading to gangrene. That’s why they kept me in the hospital more than a day - to monitor that. So the numbness is due to that destroyed tissue. The lacerations themselves were fairly minor.
