@rbkersey How dumb are you? Snakes and most other animals were on the planet before the first, well, hominids. So we are in THEIR territory. Infact, we have no right to decide to defend them or not. It should be vice-versa. So.. shut up!! and the same goes for the rest of you who thumbs-upped this mentalist!
you are supposed to have the child lying flat on its back so then the venom wont travel any faster, put a pillow under its foot just to elevate it a little. try to calm the child until help arrives.
That poor father. I can see he really loves his little boy.
My daughter got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 2 days before her Birthday and when I was in the emerge with her and she was fading in and out of consciousness, I was thinking the same thing as him. If she goes I will give up on life.
It's the hardest thing to see your own child so close to death.
It's amazing how far 911 procedures have come. Here in Texas, all of our dispatchers are certified in first aid procedures and treatment over the phone. This show is a great show and monument to what all we (EMS) have learned.
a copper head is different collored that i know because a python looks the same as a rattle snake but the differences between the snakes are that the python doesnt have a raddle a raddle snake does
This story almost happened to my family several years ago, but with a coral snake instead... my dog killed it in our backyard, but not before it bit her mouth. It was out by our swings, so if my little brother or I had decided to go out and play... it might have been one of us on this show. My dog survived the snake bite, and she lived for six more years, to the age of 11.
@CheekyThrill That bridge is the Pontchartrain Causeway that goes across Lake Pontchartrain and into New Orleans, where I am assuming that Children's Hospital is, where the baby was treated for the bite.
@wertyou567 Copperheads and cottonmouths can look alike, especially when the cottonmouth is in the juvenile stage and hasn't darkened yet. I mistook a cottonmouth for a copperhead the first time I saw one.
If them paramedics and/or parents had a snake-bite kit or one of them emergency kits for snake bites, poisonous spider bites, bee stings, wasp stings, or whatever else, they'd get a certain percentage of poison out of the body when aiding baby Kyle. All stores that have fishing and/or camping supplies, most of them do have snake-bite kits and other emergency kits for things like this. If I lived where anything poisonous are or can be, I'd have them for myself and anyone for emergencies.
To RogueKnight12866 - Who would you sue? The snake?? Can't blame any one that a wild animal comes on to ones land and causes injury. You are part of what is wrong with this country now. Sue over everything. The court system is already over stressed with stupid lawsuits and over regulations. It was a pear accident, nothing more.
Did anyone notice that the picture of the snake at 1.31 looked like it was multi-colored, but at 1.39, the snake looks completely brown? Did they use two different snakes when re-creating the event?
In any case, this was a horrible story. I have heard that cottonmouths are very mean/ aggressive snakes.
@Jibjub1980 They probably used a non-poisonous snake for the scenes where the kid is standing close to the snake, and an actual cottonmouth for the scenes that don't have any people in them.
the parents is fucking amazaing they dont looke after their baby the just having fun omg whata parenta im 13 and im looking after my sister every day !
yeh we have to respect snake in their homes but, when they come into OUR territry that's a whole different story! It's not funny when a baby is bitten, not at all! and you can kiss my ass dark death saurer! It is NEVER funny when a baby is bitten!!!
am i missing something here? the footage of the baby is obviously all a reconstruction but in places like when he's being carried into th ambulance he looks genuinely traumatised. he's to young to 'act' so why are the producers using a genuinely distressed toddler just to raise ratings?
I love all the PETA fools who defend pit vipers. Cottonmouths are aggressive and will go out of their way to strike. Anyone who wont kill a poisonous snake that threatens their children is a fool.
@rbkersey How was the Cottonmouth supposed to know that? It was doing what it knows. Self-defense. Their brains can't judge what they should and shouldn't bite.
@allgood2000 No actually you get a pressure bandage on from the bitesite up all the way to the limb. They can tell what kind of venom it is by testing the bitesite at the hospital. You're taking a risk by trying to kill the snake for identification because it could bite you
@musicianforjesus When I used to do field work in a pine plantation where there were lots of poisonous snakes, our protocol instructed that, if bitten, to kill the snake if possible and bring it to the hospital for identification. I guess the "if possible" part implies that you shouldn't try killing if you risk getting bitten again. I'm not sure a pressure bandage would really help, but I'll admit that I'm no snake expert.
I´m really glad there aren´t so many snakes in Sweden. There is one poisonus kind and two non-poisonus kinds. The poisonus one (huggorm) is not deadly poisonus unless you are allergic. But they usually just crawl away if someone approches them.
ive researched snakes all my life now if anyone says this is the snakes fault there wrong to the snake a toddler is comparable to a bear if you compare the snake to a full grown man so it uses its only defense venom and its not the kids fault either it is the stupid parents fault anywhere outside the house you always have to have a visual on the child and make sure he is 10 or less feet from you you'ed better be glad micheal jackson wasnt around with you not watching him
I agree. Who lets a toddler wander off otside on a ot dry day when you know cottonheads are native to your area? I'm not for blaming parents all the time when their children get hurt, but this was pure negligence.
Now you don't put a constricting band or torniquet you keep the patient calm and place the site of the bite just above the heart to slow the venom, It is so important to call 911. Actually hospitals might not use antivenom due to a reaction they will treat the symptoms as they arise just like an allergic reaction. If your scared the kid will be scared KEEP CALM. It is very rare to die with proper care.
i love all of the people on here that aren't parents so they don't realize you CANT keep a toddler still 24 hours a day and you can't watch them 24 hours a day. I agree she should have been paying more attention but ya gotta realize kids are gonna wander off
considering that they most likely wouldn't be able to quickly enough catch it alive while not getting bitten themselves, yes, I suppose killing it was the most logical way to go
A cottom mouth is flat at the head, and don't need to be big, its deadly because its very poisonous, its a type of pit viper according to some guides.
You are so right on this, Karasu118. The child's mother was more than just merely stupid, she was a friggin incompetent fool who after this should've been arrested, thrown in the slammer and barred from ever having custody of this child or any other EVER again. I would forbid her to even babysit a child ever for the rest of her life.
Okay. I've seen your idiotic comments. But this one takes the cake. You can't watch your child every second of every day of their lives. Plus, we share our land with nature's creatures and when animals and humans collide, things happen. This was an accident and accident can't always be avoided. Are you going to take a child away from his parents because the child was scratched by the family cat? I wouldn't.
People are so stupid sometimes. Why would you kill the snake for doing something thats natural for it? all animals protect their territory and when they feel threatened they attack
It was stupid for the mother to let her kid go off like that.
When you get bitten, you're supposed to kill the snake (if possible) so that it can properly identified and the correct antivenin can be administered. I did some outdoor work last summer, and that was part of our protocol for snakebites.
In this episode, for instance, the family thought the snake was a copperhead, but it was really a cottonmouth.
no snake is bad, remember the desert, the rainforest, even the waters are THEIR home, when we go to places we have to respect them. I have been camping for 10 years, never been bitten by a snake, but seen plenty of em. Rattlers, diamond backs, but you respect them, they leave you alone, they know they can't do much to us, so they won't bother us unless they feel threatened, same with sharks, spiders, and any other animal.
'Tis true. It's a shame they had to kill the snake, but that made it much simpler to determine WHAT bit the little boy. The snake of course thought, "Whoa! What the hell. I'm going to get eaten." Cottonmouths for whatever reason stand their ground to protect themselves. Just glad the boy's ok...he's probably 19 by now.
u're right. but this toddler didnt mean to bother the snake. im sure if he knew the snake was there, he'd never go near it, but u never know what'll happen if u go for a family picnic or camping. maybe u're just lucky that nothing's bitten u while camping for the past 10 yrs whether u respect them or their territory, if it's gonna happen, it'll happen. all animals like human beings, feel threatened but we're human beings, we'll go places not knowing some animal's gonna attack us.
@soumya5200 Probably true, if it were a good picture, but they didn't have digital cameras back then, so unless they happened to have a polaroid camera handy, they would have had to wait for the pictures to be developed
@DarkDeathSaurer i agree with this, except sharks.. try telling the surfers who have been attacked that they got in the sharks way and threatened the shark.. i no for a fact that (although few are attacked) most surfers who do get attacked by sharks weren't threatening the sharks its just that the sharks thought they were seals and other creatures.. Bethany Hamilton for example was just wearing a shiny watch that the shark mistook for food or something....
@DarkDeathSaurer In normal cases, this would be normal, but this is a child. They do things like this. They notice that an animal it there, but they do not think that it will hurt them. This is no way the child's fault if that is what you are implying. If a snake bit my child, ITS A DEAD SNAKE.
one day when i have kids ill make sure im with them when there out side and make sure nothing happens and i would teach them what can hurt them and what cant

You don't need to identify a tarantula, b/c its bite has specific symptoms.

You are so right on this, Karasu118. The child's mother was more than just merely stupid, she was a friggin incompetent fool who after this should've been arrested, thrown in the slammer and barred from ever having custody of this child or any other EVER again. I would forbid her to even babysit a child ever for the rest of her life.

Okay. I've seen your idiotic comments. But this one takes the cake. You can't watch your child every second of every day of their lives. Plus, we share our land with nature's creatures and when animals and humans collide, things happen. This was an accident and accident can't always be avoided. Are you going to take a child away from his parents because the child was scratched by the family cat? I wouldn't.

People are so stupid sometimes. Why would you kill the snake for doing something thats natural for it? all animals protect their territory and when they feel threatened they attack
It was stupid for the mother to let her kid go off like that.
Karasu118 3 years ago
When you get bitten, you're supposed to kill the snake (if possible) so that it can properly identified and the correct antivenin can be administered. I did some outdoor work last summer, and that was part of our protocol for snakebites.
In this episode, for instance, the family thought the snake was a copperhead, but it was really a cottonmouth.

You realize I just caught a mispelling in one of the words. The correct is antivenom. There, gotcha.
RogueKnight12866 3 years ago
You didn't get me RogueKnight, antivenin is also a correct spelling. Consult the dictionary.

Lets say it bit your face. What would u do with it? Pet it and say "Aw,good snake for doing ur natural stuff!"
Gosh,seriously,use ur common sense,it doesn't hurt ur brain that bad.

not all snakes are the same you know. besides, certain snakes are pretty good in their own way.

no snake is bad, remember the desert, the rainforest, even the waters are THEIR home, when we go to places we have to respect them. I have been camping for 10 years, never been bitten by a snake, but seen plenty of em. Rattlers, diamond backs, but you respect them, they leave you alone, they know they can't do much to us, so they won't bother us unless they feel threatened, same with sharks, spiders, and any other animal.

'Tis true. It's a shame they had to kill the snake, but that made it much simpler to determine WHAT bit the little boy. The snake of course thought, "Whoa! What the hell. I'm going to get eaten." Cottonmouths for whatever reason stand their ground to protect themselves. Just glad the boy's ok...he's probably 19 by now.

i agree with you its like any wild animal you are going into its home and have to respect it and its territorry(if i spelt that right).

u're right. but this toddler didnt mean to bother the snake. im sure if he knew the snake was there, he'd never go near it, but u never know what'll happen if u go for a family picnic or camping. maybe u're just lucky that nothing's bitten u while camping for the past 10 yrs whether u respect them or their territory, if it's gonna happen, it'll happen. all animals like human beings, feel threatened but we're human beings, we'll go places not knowing some animal's gonna attack us.

A picture would be more than sufficient for identifying the snake
soumya5200 1 year ago
@soumya5200 Probably true, if it were a good picture, but they didn't have digital cameras back then, so unless they happened to have a polaroid camera handy, they would have had to wait for the pictures to be developed

@soumya5200 well im no expert but , one thing i know that these snakes can be very tricky to see in a pile of junk

@DarkDeathSaurer i agree with this, except sharks.. try telling the surfers who have been attacked that they got in the sharks way and threatened the shark.. i no for a fact that (although few are attacked) most surfers who do get attacked by sharks weren't threatening the sharks its just that the sharks thought they were seals and other creatures.. Bethany Hamilton for example was just wearing a shiny watch that the shark mistook for food or something....

@DarkDeathSaurer In normal cases, this would be normal, but this is a child. They do things like this. They notice that an animal it there, but they do not think that it will hurt them. This is no way the child's fault if that is what you are implying. If a snake bit my child, ITS A DEAD SNAKE.

I'm aware of that. They're just more common in some places than they are in others. Or, were you responding to the user with whom I was arguing?

Anyone know why it's called a Cottonmouth?
DorvellTStewart 3 years ago
I think's because the inside of its mouth is white.
