ive get stabbed prolly 15 times a week by catfish. (i clean a bunch from fishing) and have been stabbed once by my RTC and have never had a problem. The guy that died from the monitor bite was an idiot and thats why he died. Also you cant compare reptile bites to fish pokes. haha

yeah pretty much. and the guy saw that it was infected and still didnt go in to a hospital. Moniter bites are just nasty in general though.
 
The story about the montour they did mention that about the things in it's mouth. They also had another story about Snakes on Fatal Atractions about how having a suport group of fellow hobbeists who keep the same creatures and know about them is a good thing in that if anyone has something go wrong they can ask them for help or they can check up on one another to see how they are doing. The man with the montour lizards in his apartment didn't know anyone else who kept that type of lizard so there was no one to ask for help about it.

Thats nasty that one, id just pop down to A and E and have it cleaned by some one it looks quite deep and it will hold bacteria in the deeper parts of your flesh if its in far, just to get some peace of mind i would have it looked at.
