I remember seeing a video years ago from a big boa breeder who claimed to be allergic to boa saliva after years of being bitten by them. If I remember right he would just puff up a little at the bite site. I would suspect that the vast majority of people would have no such problem but apparently out of a large enough sample size anything is possible.
By the way, hognose saliva is apparently actually approaching a mild venom. I remember reading an article about it suggesting that all snakes are at least very very mildly venomous when you consider their saliva.
