[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 807161, member: 50197"] Got up early this morning to go take pictures at the Audubon Garden Swamp. It was overcast and misting rain, but I decided to stick around and try out my homemade rain cape. It was a tad awkward, but worked fine. After I'd been there about an hour I suddenly noticed my left thumb was stiff, and swelling. Within a very short time, it was visibly swollen and starting to bruise up. Thought it was a spider bite, but decided to pack up. By the time I got back to the car, I decided a trip to the doc in the box was warranted, in case it was a recluse bite. By the time I got into town I changed my mind to the little emergency room near my house. Doc thinks it may have been a snake bite. Kept me there a few hours, and drew blood. Swelling started going down and she figures, if it was a snake bite, it didn't inject much venom. Neither she nor I could think of what else would cause it. A few minutes prior to symptoms, I was squatting down taking pictures, and put that hand down on the pine needles to help with standing up. I don't remember feeling anything, but if a snake nailed me, that was when it must have happened. Did manage to get a few decent shots. I thought it was a good sign when an owl posed for me before I even got through the gate. Little did I know there was a price to pay for good signs.
