I've only been bitten by one BP (not my own, he's a big softy) and found that when the kind-of-scary, super hard latch-ons occur, quickly dunking the little guy in lukewarm/room temperature water once or twice (with the exclusion of the nose/mouth area) is the most successful way to get the job done. Even with the little jaws of death clamping onto the tip of my thumb the bite didn't hurt too much, and only throbbed a little after the snake showed me some mercy. There's not much to be afraid of as long as the aftercare of the wound is thorough. Hope this helps!
