For me, getting over that response to being bitten just came with time. I was scared as a kid of my snake a few times but the longer you own them, the more you realize they can’t really do any damage at all....not corn snakes at least. Took me 18 years to be able to take a bite without flinching. Enough so that when I rescued a garter snake from the neighbors lawnmower last year he tagged me about 30 times and musked me a few as well.
Wash it off with soap and water, put on your big girl pants, and you’ll survive lol
