Biting.

i think cat bites are the worst of all... my girlfriend got bitten by her cat (long story) and the next day her had was swollen and ended up getting what the call "cat scratch fever". she was on antibiotics for weeks and in a splint for 2 months.

too bad the cat couln'd be dinner ;)

Actually the worst bite I got is from my girlfriend. And when I came home, my wife saw the bite mark....

Seriously folks, there's one kind of snake in Thailand that got some chemical in their fangs that make blood...how to say in English...difficult to be harden. So the bleeding will last longer, similar to what leeches got in their saliva. Their fangs are very long and sharp as well. The snake itself is not big at all. Even when you hold it by neck, it still can move and bite you. Mean little son of serpants. Let me look for pics.

I've been bitten once, by a 1500g female. (just a grab and release) It happened so fast that I would have been hard pressed to say I was bitten, except the blood was a dead giveaway. ;) Actually, it was a big let down considering I was a bit nervous to be bitten.

Heck my hubby Mike got tagged (really just a love tap) from a 6 foot plus female BCI...really left nothing but a couple of punctures. The very next day he's at work and people are flat out freaking out because they "heard" he got bit by a big snake LOL.

The next week he's helping our friend's mom move and one of her spoiled rotten cats claws the living beejesus out of his chest...through his shirt mind you...with only it's hind feet! What a mess!

Funny how nobody freaks out about that. LOL
