Snake Bite

[Jacobh05]

Wasn't a rattler but last yr in October my mom picked up a bag of mulch and got bit by 2 copperheads they were young so released full venom one on the calf the other on the ankle got to the hospital in about 30 min the antivenin didn't help she had a reaction they lanced it and she was in Hospital for 8 days come home and it flared back up the next morning back she went for 2 more days she said as soon as they bit her it felt like someone poured gas on her leg and lit it on fire she doesn't do work around the house in shorts and flip flops anymore that's Forsure I know it's not a rattler and she wasn't hunting but it was the 2nd wk of bow season in East TX they can put a hurt on you forsure

I have drug a copperhead a few feet thinking it was briars around my boots. Pooped a little when I looked down, but removed his head in record fashion with one swift swipe of a sog flash 2.

Just for clarification, the word is antivenin not antivenom. Also the after bite care has changed. No tourniquets, no ice, no cutting, simply remain calm and get to a hospital.

Just for further clarification...

Antivenom (or antivenin or antivenene) is a biological product used in the treatment of venomous bites or stings. Antivenom is created by milking venom from a relevant snake, spider, insect, or fish. The venom is then diluted and injected into a horse, sheep, rabbit, or goat. The subject animal will undergo an immune response to the venom, producing antibodies against the venom's active molecules which can then be harvested from the animal's blood and used to treat envenomation.

No snake, but equivalently horrific situation - best friend's cousin pulled his rifle up from the floorboard to take a shot at a pig and put a 22-250 through his foot (with his entire family in the truck I might add) On the way to the hospital they hit a deer and put their truck out of commission. Had to have first responders meet them on the side of the road.

Dry bite while crawling into range. I knew it was dry by the lack of pain and didn't panic. Snake was spotter that evening lol.

And that is why I never, I mean NEVER have a chambered round in my rifle, driving to and from the blind.

Been bitten hundreds of times while working the snake pits. They never come close to penetrating my cowboy boots. In the field I've never been bitten but I always wear boots so it's not a concern.
