True or Not?

[Sapphyr]

So, I've made a post regarding this lady we go to for crickets for our lizards. Little family owned business, so we like to help them out.

So, her and my mother were just talking and somehow hognoses came up and the lady said she knew a friend who almost lost his arm on account of being bitten by his hognose. She claims they're venomous, which people have been debating about, but I personally think they aren't. It's kind of similar to how Komodos have all that nasty bacteria in their mouths that work against a bitten prey item.

I'm extremely skeptical and the only way I can consider this truth is to think he had an allergic reaction to the toxins in the saliva. I'm just curious about what you all think about what she said, and if you think it could be possible, tell me how.
