Q for OP: Was there dampness on your mechanic's gloves and/or on your boot that you would suspect was the baby snake's venom?

Good point. I've heard of cowboys on the range throwing away their boots that were bit by a rattler. It's because the venom can stay in the leather and is still potent so that any contact with an open cut can be disastrous. Don't know if this is an old wives tale or not.
I did think of that, about 10 minutes after,but was working /sweating so everything was kind of moist/dirty/sandy/dusty/greasy. Looked at gloves and couldn't see anything..? Did put them in dirty clothes bag to wash.
Had Merrell black low boots on and didn't see anything on them either, but they were also dirty.
Good call, might be a good idea to wash boots off also..?
