POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

[Zincubus]

Lol. I read somewhere once that the bite bleeds so much is because there are enzymes in their saliva that kind of prevent blood from clotting right away. Thus after a wash the blood flow usually slows down right away. I've personally not been bit but I'm waiting for the day, lol. Thinking about that if it were on a bigger scale it's kind of scary in their adorable little way. However I can't seem to find the information again so I'm not sure how true it is. Might have been a general fact about most species of snakes but it was interesting nonetheless.

I heard a similar thing about cars a while back ... A mate of mine was bitten by a cat and her arm swelled up overnight and nearly tripled in size ..she was off work for weeks ..
I'm sure someone told her that there's something in the car bite that temp paralyses rats / birds and has a bad effect when they bite us .. Sounds a bit far fetched though ..
