I honestly have not followed this fella's previous posts enough to have an opinion on his potential veracity. This much I can say: I was bitten by a B. aritans once, a single fang impaling the tip of a finger while force-feeding. The bite required 2 10cc vials of SAIMR. I was back at work the next day. Thirty five years later, there is a small dimple in the finger tip from necrosis. I surely do have difficulty believing that a shed fang could cause the need for 8 vials of antivenin.
