Strangely enough sometimes Snake bites do not release poison, it happens from time to time.

Hope everything pans out okies for you two!:(

I have to agree with Loryn on this ... hell i'd probly pose for pics first too ... obviously it would depend on wether I was already feeling an effect and on the color and feeling of the tissue around the puncture wound ... which in this cas appeared fine.

oh my gosh! bring her to the hospital immediately

Only 5? I would have thought 10 :Graucho

So what you think Jenn would be freaking out in a panic and Rene said wait I want to post this on a board??? I know Jenn very well. She would never let anyone post a pic of anything on her is she didn't want to.

What are you talking about? I don't know about your city but here in Florida they are required to treat you in emergency situations with or without health insurance.

The county picks up the tab. The hospitals here now actually prefer the non insured patients in the ER because they can bill more money for the care given to the county than they can to private insurers.

It's like that all over the country!!!! :thumbsup

OK, whatever. I can't believe we're even debating things on this thread.

Just pray for her and that the extra minutes she took to shoot and post pics on GFY didn't let the venom get into her system much more.

I don't think it was a snake bite either, unless she pulled her arm away fast! I really hope she is ok!!!

I will be watching to make sure :-)
I bet she get's some shots!

:BangBang:
fucking snake or whatever!!!
:ak47: :ak47: :ak47: :ak47:

I agree. I pray that she is okay, of course i do I love the girl. She means a lot to me. I just didn't want people thinking that Rene would care more about getting attention on the board than the health of Jenn. That is all!! :)

depends on trafic ...i could prob get 10 good posts in though if they stopped for a quick cup of coffee..


LOL

j/k actually the fucking ambulance and fire dept here on LOng Island and the cops are fucking quick as alllll hell.

They get there asses here mighty quick

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

They do? I thought the general rule for snakes was

non poisonous=no fangs

That is a fucking big snake to leave a bite like that.
Then again it would have to be a fucking big rat, spider or anything to leave a bite like that.

I am surprised she didn't see it as it bit her or slithering off.
Especially as the bite has like tear marks rather than a neat puncture wound. It musta moved real quick.

Nah Ice is smart if it was a life and death type thing they would have stopped to post

Ouch.. get to a hospital ASAP!

Good luck

Is this the same chick that was dumped by a 12 year old around Christmas?

Just wondering if there is a theme here. :eek7

Hope she is okay. Looks like a nasty bite.

It was probably thorns from a rosebush :1orglaugh

J/K... Good luck! I hope it's nothing serious. Not knowing can be the scariest part!

I hope she's ok. :(

I hope she's OK. :(

Probably he'll try to find a cybercafe near the hospital or even ask to post from one of the hospital's computers.

dont know much about US health care .. but I recall someone saying the other day he went to the emergency for a broken arm ... which cost him couple of G's... Could that be? Broken arm is an emergency in my book... or are you talking about life threatening emergency......?

exactly STFU

From what I understand... they HAVE to treat you whether you have insurance or not. By law, they cannot turn you away. But whether you have to pay for it or not is another story altogether. I believe you have to be able to prove that you don't make enough money to pay for it yourself, otherwise they will just set you up on a payment plan.

chances are... if it was poisionous...she would know it within a minute or two by the burning sensation or extreme numbness.

The 2 poisionous snake bites either burn or go extremely numb.

From what I understand, snakes teeth are like Needles. There's nothing to cut or tear the skin, they're just pointed.

You should atleast cut off the blood circulation around that area.....and never use cut-n-suck =) (it's only effective within the first 20 seconds of the bite).

yep, this is a given to anyone in the US even illegal immigrants.

California has written about how even if the illegal immigrant cutting your grass falls over with a heart attack and has to go to hospital, the state pays it.

thats america for you.

believe it or not they are closing hospitals here in calif over the use of the system and the abuse of it by illegals.

that just basic human decency

talking to ice on phone, they are at hospital, awaiting test results, but she is still breathing

he took the pics for insurance purposes, and posted while waiting for her to get her makeup on (actually while she was getting shoes on, you know how chicks are about their shoes)

but she seems to be doing fine, no ill effects. . . but they are waiting for test results . . . he will try to provide update when they get back

Alright I am very happy. Thank you baddog for the update!! :thumbsup

Last time I went to the ER, I had to wait almost two hours to be seen. All the ER rooms were full. If it would have been a snake bite, that might have been to long.

With the ER being free here in the states, people free load on it for everything from the common cold to what ever.

Shit, they even made a lady with chest pains wait.

Posting on GFY, may not have been dumb. Often times there is a wealth of IQ on line. Somebody might have looked at the pics and made a good guess on what it was. KRL was quick to hit the web on snakes on FL. It only took a minute or two to check with the GFY bank of knowledge.

Hope all is well by now. Waiting for the :thumbsup on return from the hospital.

Hope all is well:(

I would think it would depend how the snake bit you. Maybe if it was a snake it missed it target and nicked her causing the cuts instead of puncture holes. Pic of a rattlesnakes fangs below.

I have heard if the snake has a full stomach , it can not release venom.

Any snake buffs around ?

damn this thread is hilarious.....

I ate a few bites of one (cooked) in Vietnam once.

I'm by no means an expert ... But I would guess that she would have heard a rattlesnake. They always rattle when they're excited. I've never heard of one making no sound before or after striking. But like I said, I'm not an expert.

OMG.... I hope you took her to the hospital !!!

:(
