Uhm, what? I thought the only venomous lizards in the world were Jeweled Lizards and Gila Monsters?!

I think with other lizard bites it's more of an allergic reaction to the saliva and/or bacterial infection that causes reactions.

As long as you keep your wound very clean you will be fine. Also, if you are on antibiotics, they will prevent any infection. It will be painful but should be better soon.

No it will not kill you.
