Re: snakebit I'm not joking

On my way out of a deep hollow, I felt a tug on my left leg. I shook it off and it was a 3 1/2 foot rattler. I'm not going into the detail about first you say it then you do it. But I killed the rattlesnake. That has been over 3 hours ago and I'm still shook up.

I guess this could be a new topic but it is not. I just came out of the woods and I am still shaking.

there is an anti-venom for rattle snake bites- if it punctured skin go to the ER. it said symptoms of toxicities can take several hours to appear.

Get medical attention themax, If you start feeling sick or the affected area is swelling or swollen. Better to be safe than sorry. Keep us updated please.

My neighbors dog was snake bit 3 days ago. His face was swollen out really bad on one side but he is fine now.

Glad to hear you're in no pain.

Not to worry, he didn't puncture skin, I checked that right away. He hit me just above the ankle, I guess, and must have got my boot.
My guess is the temps have been cool at night and he was a little sluggish on his strike.
Believe me if he had hit me higher and found flesh he was big enough to do some serious damage.

Thanks Max, for letting us know you're OK, and thank God it wasn't worse! Must've been scary though. Now that we know you're OK I hope you don't mind a little humor. Over in the Entertainment section there is a joke thread. Let me just say that I thought of the pirate captain when I read your post.

You should make a belt out of that rascal. Show him who is boss.

"Try and bite me eh...I will skin you and use you to hold up my pants"

It will also serve as a warning to any future snakes that thinks your leg looks like an easy target.

He said the snake tried to bite him...NOT talk him to death...so I guess you didn't have anything to do with it.
