After replaying nxn, doing some serious Instagram stalking, and checking google photos, I noticed Aiden Troutner, NXN champion has some athletic tape over both of his patella tendons or kind of on the top of his shin. Anyone know why?

He was simultaneously ambushed by a water moccasin (left leg) and copperhead (right leg) while on a run while visiting relatives in Louisiana. He taped his legs in order to keep the toxins from reaching is groin region. He must coninue to wear the makeshift taping for the rest of the year to avoid certain death or dismemberment. If someone were to remove either piece of tape as a prank or whatever, certain death or at least, amnesia, would ensue within minutes.
Thanks! How's you find that out?
I frequent another chat board of reptile fanciers. The copperhead was an impressive specimen, measuring 32", but there is some debate as to whether it was a "dry bite" with the snake's implicit recognition of an NXN champion.
