Snake Bite

So, Eric and Mark went golfing on Thurs. afternoon after work. Eric decided to pee in the woods out on the 16th hole. When he came out of the woods, Mark noticed that Eric had blood running down his leg, but he DIDNT feel anything. He came home and we put some antibiotic ointment on it. The next day at work, at his leg hurt so bad he called me and asked me to make him a dr appointment, which is not like him at all. He left work and they thought maybe it was a double hornet sting. They removed what they couldn't tell if it was a stinger or a blood clot. Later, he got soooo sick. He was vomiting, his belly felt like it was going to explode, he had numbness and tingling in all four extremities. I made him go back to the dr on Monday, and we found that it was actually a snake bite. Go figure!! We think he also might have had some kind of a bug...kind of like a red herring type of thing. He is much better now, but his leg still looks really nasty. I'll post pics later.
