LOL!
I was watching one of those shows on TV, ya know, “When Big Snakes Attack”, and two guys got away by poring alcohol on the snakes head. Of coarse they were Burmese and Reticulated! One guy got zapped in the head when reaching for a water dish, I don’t recall if he made it.
I’ve got Carpet Pythons and Blood Pythons so I’m no stranger to getting bit. The secret with those guys is not to yank your hand back and end up shredding it. With them it is defensive and not food confusion so no wrap and squeeze. My brothers will bite you every time you take him out. It doesn’t hurt if you don’t move, but it looks bad because of the blood. It’s just a bunch of tiny pinpricks that bleed for a second. Thank god mine haven’t bitten me in a couple of years.
The worst bite I’ve’ ever got was from a Corn snake. I was showing my daughter how to feed the snake with the tongs and she dropped the rat so like a dork I tried to grab it with my hand and whack! As soon as I felt the strike I pulled my hand back and shredded my finger from knuckle to tip. Bleed like a stuck pig and scared my girls do death. My little one still tells her friends the time Daddy screamed like a little girl.
Good luck with the therapy.  There is noting like getting zapped out of the blue like that.
