It is the shock of the bite that gets to you not the bite itself. you will need antiseptic for it unless you've taught your snake to clean its teeth.
I've been bit by an adult corn (a rescue that hadn't been handled on a while (it's nothing ) don't drop them keep hold and after a few more bites it stops.
As a matter of interest I had a large anaconda that was very nasty, it bit me on more than one occasion. It bled quite a lot but after a quick wash it stopped bleeding quite quickly.
A good tip but it's almost impossible to do , don't pull your hand out of its mouth. It can tear your skin and more than lightly snap off teeth that stay in you.
