How to React to a Bite?

[Jim Smith]

As a kid I've was bitten by wild caught snakes so many times I couldn't count them. Back then, I just wiped it off and kept hunting snakes. With the exception of some of the kings, the snakes you mentioned don't usually hold on. It's a quick bite and then release. No big deal at all but washing the area well with an antibacterial soap is probably a good idea.
