Case history
Case history #1
A 25-year-old, intoxicated man was bitten on the forearm by a rattlesnake while taunting it with a stick. He complains of pain, redness, and swelling at the area of the bite but has no other symptoms.
Case history #2
A 12-year-old girl was playing with a group of friends in tall grass in her backyard when she felt a sudden sharp pain in her left leg. Her parents found 2 puncture wounds on her left leg without redness or pain. Half an hour after the bite she no longer complains of pain at the site of the bite, but her parents notice that her right eye "does not seem to be opening all the way."
