What I find interesting is that you claim that you had a severe neurotoxic envenomation, yet the only symptom I can recall you describing is loss of motor function. I'll admit that I am no longer up to snuff on the neurologic response to NA crotalid envenomation, but I would have expected something more...especially in the absence of hemotologic symptoms. No dysphagia? Dysphasia? Dyspnea?

Also, you state you were treated with CroFab. Again, I may be mistaken, but isn't CroFab designed to treat the typical hemotoxic envenomation. One of the ways that treatment is measured is via coagulation studies and retreat of symptoms (reduced swelling).
