Killing 2 birds with one post. Somebody tell me the stihl shop vac is awesome? My grandfather is and always has been a stihl guy and made a good living using their products, I got him the smaller version for xmas. Money isn't an issue for a guy thats given and taught me so much I just wanna make sure that it's $150 well spent. Part 2, i've been bitten before and when you work with timber who hasn't? But this one was different, I had one get me right below the knuckle which I never seen what kind it was which the doctors were concerned about. Long story short I spent 3 hrs in the ER after constant nagging from my wife and kids and my hand swelled to twice it's size and the forearm as well. I was pumped full of antibiotic and they lantzed the wound, ouch and they tried admitting me.
Everything today looks much better but a lesson to myself and others especially to folks out west who have the ones that will kill you. Dont mess with the initial bite, get to the DR and take care of yourself. This was worse than the momma coon that scratched the crap out of me 10 yrs ago, you havent lived till one jumps out of a tree and into your bucket at 35 ft. Merry xmas to all!
