Baby Dugites bite

Well, it was an exiting day yesterday. I was trying to save my cat Lissa from being bitten by the baby dugite she was playing with. Hero mum snatched the little 10 inch snake, intending on throwing it into the road, when baby snake latched onto my finger. It was thrown, but back in my garden! Spent 5 mins looking for it, felt a tingling in my finger, so I went and called poisons info line. Wrapped the finger, then all the way to the shoulder and off to the emergency room. (I didn't think it was worth all that ...the thing hardly has giant fangs, and I have thick skin). Spent 5 hours at the emergency room, it took 5 tries to get a drip in my viens to take blood, I think they had shrunk due to my phobia of needles. 5 tries at putting a drip needle in didn't help that situation! They took 2 lots of blood tests over the 5 hours to check blood clotting and sent me home. What a waste of a sunday :(
Now it is Monday, I have a headache and sciatica pain. Oh dear...
