My husband thinks he was biten by a snake while playing golf in Myrtle Beach last Saturday.  He was retrieving his ball from a grassy area and thought he was cut by a spike or reed.  His arm swelled up and became red/bruised shortly after.  Yesterday, he noticed 2 small holes where the injury occured.  Its been a week and the swelling/bruising is almost gone, but I want to be sure that if it was a poisonous snake, that he will be okay (without any medical attention).  Should he still go see a doctor?
Hello. It is not sure is it a snake or maybe spike, but since his hand swelled, it would be good to go to see a doctor. Doctor will give necessary protection. Vaccine against tetanus and antibiotics should be considered. Some painkillers will do some good too. Since some time passed from time of bite, there is probably no need for serum against snake poison. Take care of your husband. All the best.
