Yes; I was just blithering nonsense about the perception I stated before with the "If one is immune are all?" I was also following up MrHickey in terms of the same.. On venom.

I suppose I should have tied it in, I forget how quick people are to express their differences.

hi there... generally snake venom is not dangerous when consumed, that is why it is not considered a poison. A creature(reptile, human, bird etc.) can ingest venom with no harmful effects wether immune or not.

This one incident is not scientific proof I know but I have swallowed snake venom accidentally when dealing with a spitting cobra. Other than the bad bitter taste..no harm done. HEY! but by no means does this mean go tasting venom! I would never intentionally ingest venom.

Also make note not to have any sores in your mouth and so forth. I hear the symptoms are swelling, pain and often death. ..heh.

That's why I always wore a face sheild when messing with my pallidas and black necks instead of just goggles.

yeah for sure! any open skin etc. will allow venom into your system... haha on that paticular occasion I just had my sunglasses lol. Not fun....but most of the time you can direct venom spray away from your face with foot distractions etc... but alas that is for another thread. Don't want to go off topic as usual
