Never been bitten personally, but I had a neighbor that got bitten when I was growing up.
In his case he has some traps set beside a local pond, and got bitten by a Cotton Mouth while checking one of the traps. He proceeded to drive himself to the hospital. Once there, they said they couldn't really do anything because they didn't know what kind of snake had bitten him, even though he told them. Seems the 'Government' says there are no Cotton Mouths around here, so he couldn't have been bitten by one....and giving anti-venom for a different snake would have been dangerous.
Since they wouldn't treat him without knowing exactly what snake bit him, he left the hospital, went back and killed the snake, and took it back to them as proof.
They said the only thing that saved him was the fact that he literally drank ALL the time. As a result, his blood alcohol content was so high, the alcohol took care of the venom on it's own.
True or not I don't know as I was too young at the time. What I do know is the guy drank ALOT (((and wasn't his normal himself unless he was drinking)))) and I heard this same story from the guy himself, as well as quite a few others that knew him well.
