I keep running into people who have never hung a lizard from their earlobe. We've been doing it for our whole lives and it is just a coming of age rite around here. Some girls never enter the Sisterhood of the Lizard and some guys never become Brothers of the Lizard, but once you have been initiated you'll never be the same. The major effect of having been bitten by the lizard is that whenever you encounter a lizard and you happen to be in the company of the uninitiated, you will be compelled to chase and catch the lizard. If you catch it you will strongly encourage your acquaintences to take the bite. Other changes my also occur in the personality of the bitten, but these are not as well defined. Never attempt this alone, it is a meant to be done in the presence of others.
Here you see Stella with the lizard hanging from her ear. Franky, her brother-in-law, is trying to get the lizard to release. Some lizards release quickly while others are very reluctant to give up their grip. This one was reluctant and he held so tightly that it left a mark on Stella's ear. See her holding her hand over her heart?
