Just realized how lucky I am...

There is a creek down the road from me that my sister and I swam in a few times. Turns out it is the breading ground of copperheads. And now the luck comes in: it was mating season, and there were a lot.:sad: my sister and her friend were in the creek, and the current was driving them down...away from a bunch of copperheads. Amber (my sister) saw them, freaked out, and got her friend to get out with her. they climbed onto a log, and by golly, there were more! they hightailed it out of there. I didn't here about this until today, I do not know the date that it happened. But the story made me sick, because three little boys from here died from copperhead bites. :sick: :sick: :sick: I will never swim in another creek,pond,or lake. I really don't want to test my luck...(I am actually kinda traumatized :sad: :sad: :sad: )

The worst thing is that I have no idea what copperheads are.
