    Wow.

    On the other hand, most snakebite injuries in the US are from the cottonmouth (their WARNING system is to give you an initial nearly venomless bite. Usually, the second bite is the serious one where they use their poison).

    The person to get bit? 18-21 year old males. On their hands and arms.

    Since I'm a 41-year old woman with enough sense not to try to grab a cottonmouth, I think I'll be fine.

    And why is that?

    I seen worse pictures of gun shot wounds, is that a reason not to leave the house?

    Don't get me wrong, it is ouchie... But, don't see a reason to not go if you enjoy a good hike. Just a reason to be bring a bit of cation

    Haha! Yeah, be aware of your surroundings and don't try to snake wrangle.

    The guy in the photo, Stephen Rankin, was bitten by a Fer de lance, which has some of the deadliest venom around. So far I have not seen where he was at when this happened, but it was stated that it bit through his boot.

    So you guys are suggesting that we should not simply walk up to snakes grab them and take a looksy?

    Tissue necrosis is a *kitten*! Venom is one of the best defenses in nature.

    Yeah, sometimes distance is best. Only good snake is a trouser snake in my opinion.

    In high school, I got a really bad case of athlete's foot that was almost that bad.

    It really itched. Bad.
