A member asked:
Are non venomous snake bites as painful as venomous snake bites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Venom can inflict a great deal of pain because of tissue destruction, so venomous bites tend to be worse. However, a non-venomous bite can still be traumatic, tear and lacerate the skin and cause heavy bleeding along with a risk of infection.
