Christ of a fucking cracker! An 11 year old?! Unimaginable that someone so young would have to endure that level of agony for two weeks and then lose the leg entirely. That absolutely breaks my heart.
A bite from (arguably) the most venomous pit viper in central America, (responsible for more reptile deaths than any other in the area) Fer-de-Lance, AKA the Common Lancehead, causing massive tissue death and amputation? Surely not.
How could an 11 year old love for 2 weeks in that pain? Did the parents not realize the antibiotics weren’t working?? The pain must’ve been unbearable literal torture
Ya think?
Nah, i still think it would of buffed out
Walk it off.
He'll be back on his feet in no time
He'll be back on his foot in no time.
literally
Hop it off
A little Oil of Olay will revitalize it like the commercials lol
Make sure it has that Hyaluronic Acid to look ten years younger.
Writing that down now. Thank you Dr. AlwaysFreshBoners
Tis but a scratch.
Just a minor flesh wound.
Saw what you did there ;)
King Julien would say "Rub some dirt on it, Willie!"
Put it in rice!
It was most of the way there already
Practically amputated itself
Some ibuprofen and hydrogen should be enough
“The victim was an 11-year-old boy, bitten two weeks earlier in Ecuador, but treated only with antibiotics.”
So sad, especially considering the treatment he received. :(

Why tf did he not get any antivenom? Ecuador has a decent healthcare system. This is so sad
Probably in a more rural village... it pains me that those still exist and they simply dont know any better
11-year-old, surviving that snake bite and venom for two weeks, but no proper treatment rather than antibiotics and eventually cut off his leg? 😵💫😵
Jesus are these guys deadass???
Exactly, if they can source antibiotics, in my mind they should be able to source anti-venom
Antibiotics are very easy to get and very cheap. I can definitely see why they wouldn't be to source antivenom.
Imagine how painful it must have been for your leg to just slowly die and rot over 2 weeks
Hopefully, the nerves were already fucked up and non-functional so there would be no more pain.
Probably time to have that looked at.
Two weeks?!?
That’s not two weeks
Surprised they survived that long without it spreading throughout.
I’m shocked this person didn’t get sepsis and die before it got to this point. The pain must have been unimaginable
Goddamn!!!! That is gnarly!
The dead leg had to be amputated.
lol Ya think?
Nah he kept it as a souvenir

Dear Lord in heaven!
It's me, son! Ihave nothing to do with this shit
That was a tough fight between their immune system and toxins for TWO fucking weeks
How the fuck are they even alive though?
Love me some bleu cheese leg…
That's gotta come off.
HOW TF does this condition get to THAT point?!!
Maybe wtvr region he was in didn’t have antivenom
What was the patient doing for these 2 weeks watching how well it heals?
30 days dry-aged

''Leg had to be amputated'' 💀
The foot looks like a slipper.
My question is why did they wait two weeks?
What kind of snake was it holy shit
Fer de lance
Yikers!
that is
h o r r i f y i n g
Just need a little bit of lotion
"It has to put the lotion on its charring."
Jesus Christ. Jump scare
Edit: hop scare
Guys, it's true, the photo is also on the Wikipedia page dedicated to the snake, terciopelo
Tis but a flesh wound.
Perhaps a little topical ointment.
minecraft drowned
Is that mold?
No shoe, that leg is toast.
This is not what I was expecting….not THIS bad.
Holy fuck! I thought it was going to just be a chunk of the leg.
Just a few band-aid and he'll be back in a few days.
Why did it affect only the leg and didn’t go up to the thigh?
Because it hadn’t made it that far up yet
Just chop it off man it’s not gonna get better 😭
Blue cheese ?
does this hurt the snake
Amputated? No Sh't Sherlock!
Walk it off pussy..😅
Enough he will kick your azz lol
Just rub some dirt on it!
Now that petrefied if u ask me. So why can't mountains be Giants who suffered petrification....
Probably could have walked it off...
