Snake Bite in Bed?

Tweet

I read one of the most freaky, disturbing things yesterday within a group discussion board of mine. A fellow mother was posting photographs of her friend who had mysterious bites on her leg. Two nights in a row, she was woken by a pain. When she turned on the lights, there was no creature in her bed, but mysterious puncture holes between 3/4 inch and an inch apart. (how would a snake just disappear?) Her skin started to mottle in color and change in texture, as though it were dead scar tissue. (The images looked almost like a purple leopard print) She went to the doctor, I guess after the second one. (That part is a little vague) The doctors do not know what it is. They have started the woman on antibiotics. The question was posed: did they try an anti-venom? The mom posting this didn't know the answer. I find the entire thing scary! First of all, if it is a snake, what the heck is it doing in her bed? Second, why can't the medical professionals make a decision as to what it is? I wouldn't be surprised to see an article in the news about this in the future because it is just that bizarre! I seriously would not return to that house or that bed until it is figured out & the biter is caught! I'll be honest, it made me sleep a little uneasy last night!
