My jungle education continues...
Yesterday I added yet another diagnosis to my list... the helicopter brought a patient from the jungle with a snake bite! The 26 year old girl was working in her garden when she felt an intense sting on her hand... then noticed the 2 fang marks and her arm swelling up. She didn't even see the snake, but there aren't many bugs that have fangs that big. Thankfully she is doing very well-- a swollen arm and some pain, but none of the signs of severe venom toxicity.
