The story lacks credibility.
Your story/report does not.
However, I do not believe that hogs are venomous.
There's a difference between venomous, toxic, allergic reactions, and sensitivity due to compromised immune system, medication, etc.

Besides the fact that it is extremely hard to get bitten by a hognose, I believe more bites result in no reaction. This is not true of truly venomous reptiles such as rattlesnakes. Even the so called "dry bite" from an adult rattlesnake requires medical attention. The slightest scratch from a fang requires medical attention. I'm not aware of a single hognose bite that required medical attention, not one.
