Re: Snakes around the neck?

Kids of course would be more vulnerable. If you've ever been headlocked by your older brother you'd know that it's not that easy to get knocked out, unless of course you use the sleeper hold on someone.
Ok so then the only real threat is the one around your Adam's apple because snakes around the neck don't usually put pressure on the points above the clavicle. And just to be clear it's a threat not because your snake is intent on taking you down, it's because the detection of your pulse could trigger them to squeeze, correct?
