I never used to worry about being bit by a poisonous snake but now that I am spending more time in NC Pa I have been reading some articles on what to do if bitten by a poisonous snake.
I realize it will probably never happen and i also know the best thing to do is avoid them. This topic is for what if it does happen.
Has anyone experienced a snake bite, either themselves or someone they know? If so what happened?
I read this on a website about Easten Diamondback Rattlesnakes. I have to admit it freaked me out a little.
"Can a dead snake bite me?
YES!!! In one study 3% of the snakebites studied were from decapitated snakes. My only envenomation was from a dead canebrake rattlesnake."
Not that I would attempt to chop the head off of one.
Let's try not to make this a for or against snakes thread
