Very lucky man. It must have been a very small amount of venom for him not to feel the effects sooner.
Wouldn’t the pain of being punctured be enough, or possibly the amount of blood? Especially from your fingers, they seem to bleed to no endYeah at the vens course I did they told us it is possible to be bitten by browns and not realise until some hours later until it hits you like a tonne of bricks

He does look a bit on the big side to be catching snakesI know if I was bitten by a brown I wouldn't be making a judgement on it being a dry bite based on how I feel right now.
It's a blasé attitude to take unless you have a death wish. Or maybe there is a bit of a 'big man' syndrome going on.
He said there are times where people can't see a puncture wound because their teeth can be so small. I'm not saying it's common, but apparently happens.

More surface area and agility if the snake goes nutsROFLMAO. I wasn't referring to physical size mate.
What does physical size even have to do with anything when it comes to catching snakes??

I had the same thought, too proud to be sensible and get it checked.I know if I was bitten by a brown I wouldn't be making a judgement on it being a dry bite based on how I feel right now.

Maybe both, he is in Gympie after all.I reckon you might have hit the nail on the head, but then again he might not have to much grey matter between his ears...lol.
I don't know if he would fair better, but it could account for the venom not acting as quickly. Someone of a smaller stature would probably feel the effects sooner.Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a large man (not necessarily fat) fair better than a skinny guy? More area for the venom to dissipate?
Heard about a guy in America injecting himself with venom since he was very young and apparently most snake venom has little to no effect on him now? Sounds quite fishy though.While we are talking about snake bites....
Has anyone heard anything recently about the older gentleman that worked at one of the venom collection labs in Australia that was injecting himself with micro-doses of Brown Snake venom in an attempt to condition his body if ever bitten?
I saw the story about ten years ago but haven't heard anything since.
It would be interesing to find out if he was successful in his trials.
It isn't really that fishy, more snakey I believe...Heard about a guy in America injecting himself with venom since he was very young and apparently most snake venom has little to no effect on him now? Sounds quite fishy though.
Yes, but how did he get access to so much venom?? He reckons hes been doing it on a regular basis since he was young and now hes in his 40's of something.It isn't really that fishy, more snakey I believe...
On a serious note it is really no different to when we get immunised, you take a small amount of a toxin, introduce it to the body regularly and your immune system builds a defence to it.
