Allergic to Burmese Python Saliva?

Hey guys!

I've been owning snakes of many species for about 10 years and therefore have also been bitten by quite a few as well. I've recently been bitten by a juvenile Burmese Python about a week ago and the site is still raised and has been itching as well. Can there be an allergy to Burmese Python saliva? (I've been bitten by balls, retics, white lipped pythons, but no reaction like this.)

TIA

I am unaware of allergies to snake saliva, particularly species specific. It seems unlikely to me, but who knows. More likely is that there is bacteria from the snakes mouth causing the reaction. Many snakes have anticoagulants in their saliva which might cause a reaction. It could also be that there are teeth which broke off in your skin, causing a reaction.

I had a friend bitten by a burm in the early 70's and he also appeared to have an allergic reaction and was hospitalized for it.

Could of popped a vein or something I was bit by a juvie burm on my finger and caused it to swell and sting also have been bit by one of my big boas in the exact spot which caused swelling and stinging (itching)
