all i can offer is the surgeon was experienced with many snake bites, it was the 'best' private hospital that treated people from outside S. Africa as well..as myself
do puff adders cause your blood to stop clotting, and your entire right side of your body turn to a bruise from the internal bleeding?...i know quite a few who were reportedly bitten by them in Zambia, and had nothing like that.
bottom line is I guess I will never know for sure...should have got done on my hand and knees in the grass!!
any other gaboon bite survivors out there? heard an elephant at a zoo in the us was killed by one in 4 hrs..heard that from a reptile zoo owner in Ottawa, Can.
