A couple of years ago, my brother in law got bit by a cotton mouth on his hand. He is a stubborn coot, an internist, who raised snakes so he figured the size of the snake and his size. Then he announced he wasn't going to die so he refused to go to the hospital ER.
He proceeded to be very ill, his arm was huge, I mean the man was sick as a dog. Later that summer, he was telling my grown daughter about it. After hearing the story, she said "Cool Man, that is way cool". He stared at her like she was an alien.
