Would an untreated bite from micrurus fulvius ruin my whole day more than an untreated bite from heloderma suspectum?

M fulvius is the Eastern coral snake, with a rather potent venom although only two fatalities have been documented. For further information see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrurus_fulvius as my ophidiophobia won't allow me to dwell on it any longer.... Jun 23 11, 5:46 PM

M. fulvius is venomous and can impart a serious bite, it is not often fatal. The victim should seek medical attention, H. suspectum is the Gila monster which also has a venomous bite which is painful but seldom fatal. My advice would be to stay away from both, but get that snake bite checked out ASAP! http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/fl-guide/micrurusffulvius.htm Jun 23 11, 8:42 PM
