Posted by: PWalreadytaken at Thu Jun 10 09:15:56 2010 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by PWalreadytaken ] Several years ago I carelessly let a large female Mangrove snag my right thumb. She held on solidly for almost a minute before I managed to work her mouth off. Fangs definitely came in contact as a stinging pain started almost immediately, followed by a slight swelling of the thumb and upper hand area. Subsided rather quickly over the next hour and never amounted to anything more than a scare. What was very noticable was the bleeding. Blood just flowed from the bite area. Had to finally wrap a bandage around the hand to keep blood from dripping from my thumb as I walked/worked. Once was enough. These animals definitely merit respect when being handled.
