I've been bitten by mildly venomous snakes before. It's definitely not pleasant, but to be honest, an irate housecat would do a lot more damage. It's more like a bee sting. Still, props to this guy and the scientists who worked to get this result.

"mildly" would be the key word there, also the fact that you're lucky and not allergic or something.
