I believe I may have been bitten by a snake on the weekend.
At the time I was lying in the grass of a paddock near Seymour Vic under my hang glider. I felt a bit of pain on my thigh but ignored it as I was concentrating on keeping my glider level in the wind. The pain was sharp and minor, more annoying. I remember feeling my leg a minute later through my pants and feeling some slight bumps. In the shower that night (10hrs later) I noticed 2 blood spot sores, 20 mm apart, slightly elevated, yellow bruising around the area (I generally dont bruise). Obviously if it was a snake I wasn't envenomed as I didn't feel any ill effects.
Is it likely that I was bitten by a snake? I'm curious
Thanks in advance,
Pete
