Venom is of no consequence to humans. I've recieved a couple bites with no symptoms except maybe burning at the bite site, except for one bite where I got major Stomach cramps, wierd :-/

Burning sensation could be from bacteria, same as a scratch from a cat due to the ammount of bacteria on the claws, would you think this is the same or was it burning like a bee sting? Stomach cramps are from dodgy food dude...lol... But seriously that is vert odd!!

Is the venom similar or the same as a herald??

HAHA No i think its linked somehow, ask BV i think he's had similar experiences. No idea with regards to it being the same as a herald.

Yeah headache and stomach cramps will remind you that you were bitten. It only lasts a few hours and then it passes.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
