Was it a dry bite? If not, what happened? Always interested to hear snakebite survival stories.

I was bitten by a Montivipera xanthina about 4 years ago. Not a fun snake bite, I tell you. Blood pressure went down, platelet count down, internal bleeding everywhere, no specific antivenin. There was decent amount of local necrosis on the bite site as well. Stayed in the ICU for 4 days, healed completely in about a month.
