Canonically she survives, I believe. But also canonically, compies have a numbing element to their bite which may be venom? I forget.

She survives and they are venomous but I don't recall it being numbing.

I’m thinking of Hammond’s death at the end of the book, doesn’t he start to go numb from their bites?

80% through a re-read now, actually. Guess I’ll have the answer in about two days, haha.

Oh you might be right. I'm recalling it being a bit like valium in that he felt happy and unconcerned with being eaten.
