Warren Soulsby spent 72 hours in hospital needing antivenom after being bitten by an adder while working
A being treated with antivenom. Doctors told Warren Soulsby that his blood had literally curdled after the strike by the UK's only venemous snake.
A concerned colleague looked at his hand and noticed two puncture marks that kept bleeding and insisted that he go to hospital. Doctors ran tests that revealed his blood was twice the viscosity it should be and hooked him up to an IV. "So I got the shock of my life when I realised I'd been bitten - and that it was venomous too. It's a crazy story to tell and sometimes I have to whip out the pictures of my hand to get people to believe me.
"At first I thought it was off a thorn bush so I didn't think anything of it until I started walking back to the van and I started feeling dizzy and feeling sick. Assuming he'd merely been spiked by a thorn, Warren meandered over to his van to grab a drink but started to feel unwell minutes later. A co-worker noticed the bleeding puncture wounds and, seeing how ill he became so quickly, insisted he go to hospital. Driven to Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh by a work pal, Warren said tests revealed his blood was 'a bit out of sorts'.
