Thank you for the correction and further information. Your right. It would be much easier to puncture a vein or artery on the ankle then most other places due to the veins being so close to the surface. Genneraly snake btes are subcu injections rather then IV ones but that could be the case. I dont even want to imagine that stuff getting directly into a vein ; ; Ive seen first hand what it can do to your finger tip.

As always, this is a very misfortunate accident and my prayers go out to the family.
