"I squatted down I reckon I mustve nearly sat on his head," he said.
"As soon as I felt it, I yelled. It really hurt.
"When it happened, I knew in the back of my mind it was a snake.
"I seen him coming out from between my legs."
He said he tried to remain calm as he inspected the damage.
"He got me about halfway down," he said. "I saw fang marks and a bit of blood come out."

My grandmother got bitten on the buttock by a black widow spider while sitting in an outhouse. She was a child and it was at the turn of the century. Her father was a doctor, so he was able to treat her and she lived.
I think she was kind of phobic about toilets for the rest of her life, even the nice normal indoor kind.
Oh your poor grandmother. That's my nightmare. I've always been scared of spidersI would much rather face a snake any old day.
Wow, that really is incredible that 10 children born survived into adulthood. Probably a combination of good parenting and great genes. I bet you have the genes too.Apparently, her father, my great-grandfather was a dandy doctor, and I guess his wife must have been a strong and resourceful person as well. I have her entire name,. My grandmother was the next to youngest of 10 siblings, and none of them died in infancy or childhood, which was unheard of way back then.
OWWWCH.....now that would have hurt BIGTIME. Are green ants, like Bull Ants? My God, they are seriously scary!I squatted on top of a green ants nest, it was dark so didnt notice, pulled my jeans up and all of a sudden felt the worst burning and stabbing sensation on my bum and other private parts and down both legs. I was badly bitten, taken to hospital as I came out in big red welts where they gave me treatment. I have never felt such pain in my life. I dont squat anymore.
