I've never had a run in with a snake in Africa at all. Nothing serious regarding spiders either. The closest was a big black ugly spider living inside the top of my mosquito net. I'm sure this was purposely put there as a joke on the client. No problem squashed spider.

A 'lovely' incident I have related here before. A felllow traveller I was travelling with in Malawi had a spider bite her in the middle of the forehead. A small pink dot grew in size until it was like a very large boil over a centremetre in width. She was taken to the hospital in Lilongwe to have small spiders and spider eggs removed from her scalp. The spider had actually laid eggs in her forehead between the skin and the skull. Luckily there was bone behind the 'bite'.

The fun bit is it grew again and she had some more aracnid offspring removed later in Zimbabwe.

Another "story". A PH once told me a female guest had a sting to her arse when on a long drop toilet / shower and came running out naked. They investigated the source and found it was a harmless lizard. Of course they insisted on examing the bite

. Personally I think this was PH BS.

Jiggers are little nuisance buggers. I'm talking about the type in the ground that burrow into your feet and need to be extracted with a disinfected needle.

African snakes are 'pussy-cats'.
