Crossy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Foot, doesn't hurt (unless I press on it), no swelling, not even sure when it happened. Treatment? It got Betadine when I noticed it. 1 Baht coin for scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 It looks a lot more like puncture wounds instead of a bit. When working in the yard/garden...I always seem to get stuff like that with no explanation. The bites (from tiny ants mainly always itch) so easy to tell the difference. Any barbed wire or metal fencing on your property ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 @tonray nope, it happened sometime yesterday a normal workday in the office although I did walk round to a contractors Mo Chit offices (about 10 minutes). No garden activities except wandering out to feed the carp after work. The grass needs cutting so something could have been lurking and got disturbed. I noticed when I jumped in the shower in the evening. I'll just keep an eye on it, if anything unusual happens it's off to the doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 looks like three sets of a double bite or puncture and the gap between the teeth or whatever is only a few millimeters apart. Pretty hard to distinguish what it was ... see how it goes for a few hours and if it gets any swelling or pain go straight to the hospital. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BritManToo Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Snake bite ...... 3 strikes. 2 straight on, then 1 at an angle as you moved away. Let's hope it wasn't venomous, or if it was they were 'dry' strikes. Edited September 26, 2020 by BritManToo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crossy Posted September 26, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 We do have small snakes of assorted kinds, all non-venomous (or mildly venomous). I've seen Golden Tree snakes, Laoatian Wolf snakes and those fast green whip snakes, all have been getting out of my way at the time. Maybe one wasn't quick enough. It's been at least 18 hours since it happened, nothing has dropped off yet. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahjongguy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Assuming that is the bottom of your foot, my Thai gardener friend (who had suffered most every sort of wound) says it was something inanimate. Not likely to be any consequences as long as your tetanus shots are up to date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pilotman Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) that's why gardens are for looking at, for dogs to run around in, to build pools in and for an old stooped Thai chap to look after, they are not for farangs.

Popular Post Lacessit Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 Logically, on the top of the foot very unlikely to be inanimate puncture wounds. My bet would be on a non-venomous snake that was disturbed. Fortunately, small mammals such as mice do not harbor the rabies virus. You would not know about that for 2-3 months, after which you would probably be appointed head moderator. Yes, I know. I have a twisted mind. I blame it on TV. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraday Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I've had these double puncture bites about three times, but not idea what they are. They last a few days, giving only mild irritation, but I do put iodine on them. Only ever had them on my arms, so doubt if they were from a snake, as getting down to ground level is quite difficult for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEN Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Have you been in contact with any dogs? It can also look like 2 scratch marks (starting from top of your pic and scratching downwards + the punctures look a little bit v-shaped = similar to scratch from top) I get similar marks if one of our dogs have too sharp nails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tanoshi Posted September 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2020 From the spacing of the punctures, I'd suggest a spider. I woke one day with similar puncture marks on one arm and a quick search of the bed revealed the culprit. Slight itching for a few days similar to that of a mosquito bite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years ago I was doing some 'lectrical work at my step-son's restaurant. One of the girls came rushing up "Mr Dave, Mr Dave, snake, snake!" no idea why she chose to tell me (thinking back maybe she wanted rid of me). "Where" says I, "hong nam". "OK let's look", she led me to the ladies (one stall) and I gingerly pushed open the door, saw the cobra and carefully closed the door again. Madam called the local snake man and the unwanted guest was soon captured. Sadly he was also dispatched and ended up on the barbie. I can say for certain that cobra tastes almost exactly like, cobra. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
