Well, my rattlesnake bite was at Midwest Research Institute. Now that, yeah, it wasn’t in the zoo, but it was kinda a zoo-like setting because we set up this laboratory with all these snake exhibits that Kansas City discontinued to study the snake bite. And so I wanted to create a zoo situation. And I had to weigh these snakes every week to keep track of ’em. And as I was weighing this one, he bit through the sack and through my trousers leg. And it was a big robust Crotalus ruber, red diamond rattlesnake, never milked him, he’d never injected venom, fed him dead rats all the time. And he gave me a dose, and much more than I realized. And I was pretty sick.
