I have heard that not all snakebites include the injection of venom.I myself would always treat one as if I had been injected.There may be visible fang marks but if there isn't any burning sensation other than the bite itself a person may have gotten lucky.
I met a women who was bitten by a copperhead when she sat on it.This occured while she and some friends were morel hunting.She wasn't injected but did have fang marks.

Preventing snakebites by: Mike
To reduce your risk of snakebite - leave snakes alone.Most snakes usually avoid people if possible and bite only when threatened or surprised.
- Stay out of tall grass
- Be cautious when gathering firewood and climbing rocks
