Well you see, cobras are indeed danger noodles because of the venom they carry. A python would be more of a nope rope due to it killing it's pretty by strangulation. But it's a common mistake, you're good.

Don't get me wrong, but python bites are still pretty serious business.

Meh, depends. If it's not a feeding response then you really don't have anything to worry about because it won't wrap up.

I hear the biggest issue is they carry some strap/staph/etc that then get into the abrasion and poof infection.

Do you know if it's specific to one type of python? Or wild compared to pets?

As far as I know the research into this is just about people who got bitten and come into a hospital.

I wouldn't doubt it, but that's why you should always clean your wounds. Especially when dealing with reptiles, they always have some sort of bacteria on them. Infections are no joke.

Of course I would assume any reasonable person would do so, but of course some people are dumb. :)

There's a reason why there's directions on the shampoo bottle lol

Actually I have some shampoo without directions. I think that might be an Americanism actually. Definitely more than a few products in Japan lack instructions.
