I've just had a strange(for me) reaction to a radix bite. I've been bitten so many times I can't remember. I would guess over a hundred times. Up until tonight I have had no unusual reactions at the bite locations. Most of my bites have taken place on the hands. Usually a small amount of blood is drawn but that it. The next day you can'e even tell where the bite was.
Tonight(moments ago) I was giving out some snack pinkies to one of my female groups. In that group I have a snake named "Lucky look-a-like" I had scooped up some pinkies out of a warming bucket and my hand still smelled like them and she grabbed me. As in the past she let go after a few seconds. I looked at the bite location and only saw pin point blood. A few moments later I got a terrible itch at that locaton and the bite location has some swelling. This snake has bitten me before and I've never had a reation like this. It's now been about ten minutes since the bite and I am still aware of the itching but the swelling is almost gone. The bites are usually on my fingers but this one was between two fingers by the knuckles.
I'm not sure what to think about this occurance.
