Question : I was walking barefoot in long grass in Malawi and git a sharp stabbing pain in my foot. I bandaged it and later noticed what looked like two puncture marks.
Brief Answer:
Follows.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem and the pic that you have sent I will like to tell you that it doesnt seem like grass marks to me . It looks more like a bite mark since two marks are there snake bite should also be ruled out .
In my opinion you should see a doctor early as physical examination is the most important thing to be done at present and which can guide us further.
Take care.
