Gracie, you might want to consider a Drs. appt for the snake bite/scratch. While it may be a minor injury, snakes bites are also dangerous for the amount of bacteria they carry in their mouths. You may need to be put on antibiotics to protect yourself against a secondary infection from the bacteria. If nothing else, put lots of antibiotic cream on that cut.
Thanks for reminding us that we are in prime time snake season. I've been cleaning up construction debris and have been careful but sometimes you just can't be careful enough.
It barely grazed me, maybe 1/4 inch cut. I washed it out with soap, put some anitbacterial hand cleaner on it (burned like He11, but I figured it was worth it), and out some Neosporin on it once I got home. I would be more concerned about it if I had gotten a puncture wound. I will be going to get myself a Tetnus shot though! I figured I would need it with all the trouble I'm always getting into!
