    If the snake doesn't kill you the hospital bill will!

      Necro'ing this old post in case anyone else wants to know.
      If you've got a mobile phone and can get reception, call the authorities and ask for help. If you don't, well . . . you're going to have to prepare for 24 to 48 hours of being really sick and out of it, and needing more health care once you do recover and make it back. (Do NOT, whatever you do, try to run back!)
      But rattlesnakes are something to be mindful of, not panicked by. Around 5 percent of all rattlesnake biters in the US are fatal, and rattlesnakes would much rather avoid people.

      Crofab antivenin is sold to hospitals at a discount price of 3200 dollars per vial which results in the patient having to the 12895 dollars per vial hospital charges for pitvipers in North America Anavip may be available for a lower price at some 🏥 hospitals in the US consult with your physician about it being used. Hospital bills are sometimes forgiven in case of snake bite you can receive treatment no matter if you have insurance or not .

    This woman was bitten on a popular hiking trail. She is wearing low-cut shoes and shorts. Above the ankle boots and long pants provides some protection. Best to go paranoid and wear real snake chaps. I am amazed at the people going off trail in the desert with no protection. Yes, you can choose to roll the dice, but given enough time you will eventually roll snake eyes!

      You can tell why looking at the shape of the head. The head of a poisonous snake will have a diamond shape head. A snake that is black and orange with stripes is a coral snake which is poisonous as well. But like my dad said all snakes are bad it's best to leave them be.

    Ok little secret. Get a sawyer exstractor n a rubber work out band for a restricting band. If you get bit put the band on tight as soon as you get bit, get the exstractor out of the box and suck venum out 3 to 4 times rinse with water and release the band then get to the hospital. You just saved money n time healing because you got a good amount of venom out. Lol the band goes on above the bite.
