I’ve had one dog and three friends bitten, all seperate occurrences. Two of the friends had to be medevaced to Tucson for treatment, and one was lucky in that his bite was a dry bite. Very expensive, but they didn’t die. (The dog pulled through too!) The doctors wanted to amputate two fingers and a thumb on the one friend, but he wouldn’t let them. Instead he kept wrapping the bite site in split prickly pear cactus for a few weeks until the necrosis stopped and the healing took over.
Dry bite?
Wow, Great, I'm gonna have to (try to) remember that.
Snakes call it brut.
