The once was a A.junodi that sunk her one fang into the last segment of my thumb and wiggled the second fang around till she got it into my joint. Waited till she let go (Around 3 seconds) and then calmly put her down. After about 15 min I couldn't bend my thumb as it was too swollen, but needed to put on a brave face. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
