lol this is great, i get on to find out an answer to a question about eggs and all i get is people calling me a liar? number one i keep it short because my spelling stinks, I'm dyslexic and i am not at work so i don't feel like playing with spell check all day, two no one needs to be called a liar and take it, like I'm proud i made a stupid mistake, who brags about being stupid i had a three and a half foot rattler in a two and a half foot cage with a sliding front... do the math and three i have had venomous for at least fifteen years and i am very respectful and i had sheets on all of them but when my girlfriend moved out i moved some things and they where not available when i got bit... i didn't feel like i had the time to search my house. All i wanted to know is if any one knew why eggs where all the sudden making me sick? thats all, why am i defending myself? i got a name to drop, do you know Brad McCarthy? ask him, my name is jason sappe and i will take some pics of the bills and me in icu if it makes you guys feel better or maby you have some specific questions about symptoms and time lines? i just think this is ridicules.

sorry dude, look at it from our point's of view. It seems just a little strange. And the way you responded, with all the cussing............yea, if you are an adult, you sure dont act like it. And nothing in the story makes sense. I could care less about Name dropping as well.

? im 36, i just assumed everyone knew brad and the implication was that u could ask him, and i have never had an adult, call me out, threaten me "to cut my link" and just flat out be offensive,i agree some one in this conversation is acting like a child if something doesn't sound rite just clarify a question and ask, not sure y this is bothering you guys so much, so did you ever actually find the answer to my question anyway?

fair enough, i apologize to any one offended i just never expected to be called a liar, tox department at UPMC Presby 412 674 9922 ask them why crofab 01/29- 01/31/08 are the dates, i'm sure they will not disclose info about me but i'm sure they will confirm the case it was Dr Cannon by the way, this is just not what i expected from this site, you guys usually have a lot of good info and contacts, i don't know why crofab, maby ignorance maby that was all that was available i am not going to stick up for northeast doctors in this one but all i can tell you is that i had, a light burn and swelling that progressed up my arm, my hand and wrist swelled 2 or 2 1/2 times normal size with a slightly darker discoloration on two fingers and the bite side of the hand, it didn't hurt as much as it felt like it was going to burst, after fifteen minutes i started getting numbness in my lips and my eys where not focusing properly, after one hour i was having problems with focus my lips and toung whwer numb and i was notisably dizzy, at this point i'm not sure of the time but just before the crofab went in my hand and arm where swelled, it felt odd all the way into the same side of my chest, it had just entered my lymphatic system " pain in the armpit" i was very dizy, very slow eye focus. lips, toung, face, forhead, and fingertips

And possibley the mistake was that Crofab is recognized for Rattlesnakes native of the U.S. and didnt understand the Neo-Tropical as being exotic..
But again I wont pretend to know much . Sounds like a dumb screw up at the hospital................Shelby

thank you, the only reason i requested presby was that i knew my friend brad was hit by a big diamond back years ago so i had my girlfriend call him and that was his advise, who the hospital was talking to and what was going on behind the scene, i cant tell you but i didn't feel as though i was getting enough info and they where not listening to me. no i do not recomend them and yes o yes keep the info on each animal taped on the tank lol

Jason, you will probably not get a definate answer here about the severe egg allergy after a snakebite, as it is somewhat unusual.
Anti-venoms are known to cause serum sickness, mostly with ones that are made from horse plasma, however, serum sickness can happen with other anti-venoms including the fractinal ones like CroFab.
Anytime an foriegn substance is introduced into the body, (durissus venom and CroFab) there is the possibility of a bad reaction. There are many ways your immune system might react to those foreign substances.
I would suggest that you search Google under "severe allergy to eggs," and read the articles in MedLine and other online medical journals (you might have to go to a library to get access) about sudden severe egg allergies.
I would also suggest that you contact an Allergist who can test you for this allergy, and perhaps even offer a cure for it.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards JohnZ
