snakebites
Herpetologist's occupational hazards
Snakebites are wounds inflicted by snakes, particularly venomous ones requiring medical attention: The hospital treats dozens of snakebites each year.
In drinking culture, a snakebite is a cocktail mixing lager and cider, sometimes with blackcurrant cordial.
Snakebites also name a style of lip piercing with two studs placed symmetrically below the lower lip.
