The severe envenomations and deaths from Philodryas bites (with P. olfersii the most well documented culprite partially due to proximity and widespread distribution) were envenomations, not allergy (allergy doesn't cause systemic myotoxicity or hemorrhage).

One nice thing about coagulopathy, is that you actually feel fine. For example, with both of my Hoplocephalus stephensii bites, my blood chemistry was absolutely rooted but I didn't feel it. It may have been interesting to draw some of your blood to see if there was any disturbance.

Sounds like you may have gotten very lucky. Go buy a lottery ticket

Cheers
