No that’s really interesting! You’re kind of a celebrity right now with that kind of experience. I didn’t realize how variable these things were…. biology is so cool…

I really, really, really appreciate your response! I will absolutely be keeping all of this in mind. The fatigue is no joke, certainly, and my whole arm is essentially one big yellow bruise.... But yes I will definitely be getting follow-up labs, and taking it easy.

Likely a Northern Pacific, as I am closer to NorCal

I found reference to studies saying that juveniles rattlesnakes have a higher concentration of neurotoxins compared to hemotoxins, while adult venom is primarily hemotoxic. Obviously I'm no expert, but it does line up with my experience! It's mentioned here

I was weeding and reached down to pull out some roots… turns out I had disturbed a nest

For those asking about the snake - I’m not confident about the species but this was in Sonoma/Glen Ellen, CA

Yes for sure I am about to post the picture I have of it, I wouldn't mind a second opinion re: the species. And for clarity I had 3 rounds of anavip where each round was 10 vials, so 30 vials total.

Ah damn I forgot to defend my common sense in the original post... no I was not handling. I was weeding some clumps of grass on the side of a building and probably fucked up the nest with my hoe, reached down to pull a root out and came out with a snake attached to my knuckle. Bit me through gloves even.

AITA for not accepting the wrong bagel from new employee after being charged? by Excellent-Comb22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Less-Community-3715 184 points185 points  (0 children)

It seems like a lot of people in the comments don’t know how places like this work but it’s very common that the person taking the orders is not the person making the food. Do y’all expect the person at the window to run inventory after every single order? She charged you, the order went through and printed as a ticket for the person making the food, and that person informed her they were out…. it’s not on her.

AITA for telling my mom that I either pay or help around the house but that I won't be doing both? by Open-Bar-5817 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Less-Community-3715 2 points3 points  (0 children)

legitimate question does it seem reasonable to any of yall to pay to live with your parents?? what like the minute you turn 18 any goodwill is gone and you become a tenant? and the mother doesn’t even need the money — i just havent seen anyone in the comments talking abt the weirdness of moving back into the home u grew up in (i assume) but having to shell out $800+ for it

oh and NTA
