Well, it's official. She is now a charter member.

That's one of the most severe ones I have seen.

Yikes! After doing that to myself, I elected to get heat shields before my wife did that to herself. Whenever we get out, we both say, "Pipes". So far, no more Snake Bites.

I like your choice of toe nail polish, Dan.

Get some silver sulfadiazine Cream or silvadene on that as soon as possible. The Brand name is RX only but I would think an across the counter version is available. It works wonders, takes the pain away and speeds healing. Maybe a call to you family Doc would get a fax script to help her out.

Neosporin + Pain OINTMENT and cover with bandage. Change twice a day until scabbed, then daily until healed.
Neosporin: First Aid Products

Been there 4 times so far.

My remedy for the infamous snake bite.... Do not get bitten. Using that philosophy I am scar free. Now Ginny is another story.

Well guys, this is a week old and already scabbed over. I have heat shields on the pipes, but there is this 6 inch section aft of the heat sink that seems to have gotten her. I throw this out as a caution to the newbies.. (my snakebite healed several years ago!) and it only takes once.

Maybe it only took once for you, Dan, but I forget easy! :mad:
As anyone knows who's been bitten, these burns seem like forever to heal and hurt like a mofo! :CRY:

It should almost be mandatory for each of us to carry a small burn kit in our cars, the quicker you apply the ointments mentioned above, the faster the pain stops and the quicker it heals.

Forgetful Ralph:(

I carry one on long trips. Perhaps you are right, it should be present on short trips also.

The only solution is a 2 hour safety course, with films & 8X10 glossey photo's of prior snake bites! Oh! and amputation of the stricken part! :eek: :p :LOL:

Or undercar exhaust! %/

OR Buy a FIA car :). Sorry I couldn't resist! Looks painful and sorry to see that. Takes the fun out of it, for a little while. Regards, Matt

My ten year old nephew got one yesterday- I warned him, but hey what can you do? When I told him 'you got a snakebite' he was chuffed, and is looking forward to showing his school friends :LOL:
Sorry, couldn't bring myself to photographing it!

I've always had under-car exhausts so I really have to watch myself when I get out of someone else's Cobra.
