It was the subsequent treatment that I applied that caused the problems. I showered after finishing, then put some Savlon cream on my grazed knees. Two weeks later I ended up in Hospital with an abcess under my knee cap, caused by the Savlon becoming a breeding ground for all sorts of nasties.

how was the snake?
