    hey all, i am thinking about getting a snakebite this thursday but i have a bit of a problem. Im a biology student and i do labs, in these labs we deal with alot of viruses and bacteria. would it be wise to get a piercing now or should i wait for the summer?
    THANKS FOR THE HELP.

    Would you advise working with them with an open wound?

    you should be wearing protective clothing anyway, wear gloves or cover where your getting pierced. and once u dont touch it with your hands until there disinfected with alcohol then it should be ok

    any doubt though then wait till summer

    wait for the summer
    it's an open(deep puncture) wound
    just the kind of place where tetanus likes to hide
