So I’m still thinking about this lol. I still have another 3-4 years to decide if I’d still like a hognose, but I’m unsure how I feel about their venom. I find myself swinging between “It will be fine” to “no thanks” on a frequent basis.
I’m not actively worried about being bitten and I highly doubt I will, but I feel like I should at least have a plan of attack in case is somehow DOES happen. I have no idea what my reaction or my husband’s would be if I did get bit, and my only worry is if it does get bad enough to warrant a hospital visits like the stories I’ve been reading.
Fellow hognose owners, what do you advise for someone who does get bit? Do you think I personally should get a hognose? As someone who has a history of allergies? I have two food based allergies (shellfish and eggs)that are considered dangerous that I have an epipen for. My symptoms had sometimes lead to swelling and closing of my throat so I’m not sure if that’s an indication of how I’d react to a bite.
p.s @Deborah I’m still looking at you for red and purple line morphs :p
