It Raised My Ophidiophobia

in Steem Sri Lanka11 days ago

I got a sudden mini attack yesterday. These days I'm trying to clean our backyard as now it has turned into a little jungle. I was not interested in, but as I had my own plans I started cleaning by myself.

I was not at home and after a few days I stepped back to the backyard. Then I grabbed some things up from a grass grown area and stepped somewhere nearer. Whenever I stepped back to where I was before, I saw a snake slides by. It was soo close to me and I was clueless whether it did bite me or not.

However, I have seen different kinds of snakes and have noticed that the highly venomous Common Krait is black and comparatively small in size. The snake I saw was silmilar to the outlook of Common Krait. Common wolf snake also looks like Common Krait, but not venomous as it.

I was shockingly staring at there even after it went out of my sight. I doubtedly checked my legs. I think it's because of I was nervous, I felt like something is wrong with my legs. I called Amma right after that and she got scared too and told me to recheck the legs if I have got any marks. I had no idea how a snake bite looks like. I googled it too.

Whatsoever happened, Amma told not to overthink and asked me to come to the hospital to check my blood. I got ready and went to the hospital thereafter. Then I gave a blood sample. I had to wait a few minutes to check whether Im good.

Luckily, it was all good and now I carefully watch over.
