  • no photos ? how do we identify them, LOL

  • So I emailed the Centers for Disease Control and asked about snakebites. They estimate there are 7000-8000 venomous bites yearly in the US, and about 5 deaths. About 5.

    It gets better. In one 26-year study, 60% of of fatalities occur when handling the snake, and 30-40% involved alcohol. About one in five deaths involve imported exotic snakes. Only one in five was someone working or recreating outdoors. Feel better?

  • @Dasdfjkl This does not work. You will do more damage than good. If you did by some chance get some venom from the would and had a small cut in your mouth you could essentially have a bite situation in you face.You also open the area to greater risk of infection.

  • Why not cut where the puncture wounds are and suck on it so much of the venom will bleed out?

  • Something you don't see often - a sensible discussion on snake bite and snake bite effects and how to treat patients when they are bitten - thank you!! There is also a good website where you can download snake bite first aid instructions free of charge to treat a bite victim when they are first bitten - have a look at Working with Wildlife's website. It is also a really good reference source on this topic.

  • How likely is death from a pit viper snkae bite?

  • @hunt458 I don't eliminate every venomous snake that I find. Only around the house/kids.

    I'm more concerned with Hantavirus than with snake bites.

  • wish they'd handle my snake.

    when I get bitten by rattlers I like to go for a nice long sprint to really get a good buzz going

  • great video!

  • I think she ment to say Copperhead and Water Moc... She say's Copperhead later in the vid.
