So...I have to come on here and admit that I got my butt kicked by a baby eastern the other night. With the size of my two big girls...who would have thought that a baby bite would take me down? Perseus...one of my baby easterns...decided she was a little too excited about the pinky pieces she was having for dinner. She locked on to my finger and decided she was going to try to digest it. She would not let go no matter what I did! She started grinding her teeth back and forth and digging them in as deep as she could. I had blood running down my fingers and I tried prying her off...tried putting my hand in the water dish...I finally got her to let go...and I guess she got enough venom in me to cause a reaction. I'm pretty hypersensitive to everything. My finger started swelling up with fluid and turning purple. I'm sitting there thinking...great...I'm going to have an anaphylactic reaction to a baby garter and have to go to the hospital where I work and try to explain this to everyone! Not to mention, they would have no idea what to do....lol. I tried to call Mike...but he was at work. I washed it out with peroxide, put some antibiotic ointment on it, and took a benedryl. The reaction finally calmed down a couple of hours later. All from a baby bite!
