I once stepped on a shed pygmy rattler fang that had fallen on the floor of my snake room during cage cleaning(another reason to always wear shoes in the hot room).I felt a small sting and just thought it was a small piece of glass as I had broken a light bulb earlier that day, about 30 minutes later I got a pair of tweezers and removed the object from my foot and discovered what it really was. There was no swelling or pain after I removed the fang.

I know Puff adder venom is more potent,but I still don't buy that story.
