Re: Snake Bite...Infected?
I haven't popped the blisters, but I wondered the same thing. Would it be abnormal for there to be like five or six teeth in there?! This is the first time being bit so I have no idea.

I've been tagged a bunch of times, fortunately no teeth left behind yet. But yeah, I would imagine if one can come out a handful could too.

I've had an embedded tooth once...it took a while for the reaction to build up to where I realized that's what it had to be. At first there was nothing & I thought the bite had long-since healed. That's why I said the time frame fits IMO. ;) I didn't see a doctor...I dug it out myself & treated with Neosporin, but that's up to you to decide.

I think that's what I plan to do. Really trying to avoid going to a walk-in as my area has rising cases of covid-19.

If I were in your shoes I'd start digging myself. Unless you slip HORRIBLY you're not going to further injure yourself. No need to risk going into a Covid breeding ground. Just clean well before and after. As a former bartender I have dug countless pieces of glass out of my hands, and a few from my feet (whole different stories).
