I would have thought the snake needed to chew through a few more layers to inject any venom...is that a possibility?
Can someone answer if this is true:
"...Another was a lady at Mirani who walked out of the old library and was chased and set upon by a taipan. Fortunately, she was a large woman wearing a dress. It struck the dress and saturated it with venom. I believe the snake was found and "dealt with". A word of warning to anyone who has an item of clothing tainted with venom. Throw it away. No matter how much you wash that garment, it will always be slimy and even just wearing it a number of times can make you very ill as the venom is absorbed by the body. This happened to a cousin of mine when his jeans were hit by a taipan. He wore them again and again noting that the slime wouldn't wash out and in the meantime, he got sicker and sicker and it was discovered that he was absorbing the venom through his pants."
Firstly: A large woman would have no more 'fortunate' experience with a taipan than a smaller person - surely? Or are they implying because she was a larger woman wearing a dress? Not quite sure... But anyway... If you're a larger person you're no more likely to survive a venomous bite from a snake are you?
I assume the lethality of the venom on a larger person may be slightly longer in time, but surely not any more likely to survive (unless you take into consideration that a large person is lazy and doesn't move much).
Secondly... Venom on the clothes... Can someone clarify that one?
Good workAll taken care of guys! ,next week will have a story fixing the problem showing a real taipan
"He was going to have me, and I thought I'm better off having you." - I beg to differ
The comments about snakes "chasing" after people, such a joke. Snakes chasing people is pretty much the same as falling over in the shower and landing on a 10" dildo, they obviously picked the god damn thing up, got bitten then were too embarrassed to state the truth.
