Important Snake Bite Information:
Every state but Maine, Alaska and Hawaii is home to at least one of 20 domestic poisonous snake species, according to a study in the August 1, 2002, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. The article's authors estimates that between 7,000 and 8,000 people receive venomous bites in the United States each year. Some experts say that because people who are bitten and can't always positively identify the snake, they should seek prompt care for any bite, though they may think the snake is nonpoisonous. Even a bite from a so-called "harmless" snake can cause an infection or allergic reaction in some individuals. Wearing Snake protective Boots is recommended
Venomous Snakes:
Two families of venomous snakes are native to the United States. The vast majority are pit vipers, of the family Crotalidae, which include rattlesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths (water moccasins). Pit vipers get their common name from a small "pit" between the eye and nostril that detects heat and allows the snake to sense prey at night. These snakes deliver venom through two fangs that the snake can retract at rest, but which spring into biting position rapidly. Virtually all of the venomous bites in this country are from pit vipers. Some--Mojave rattlesnakes or canebrake rattlesnakes, for example--carry a Neurotoxic Venom that can affect the brain or spinal cord. Copperheads, on the other hand, have milder and less dangerous venom that sometimes may not require antivenin treatment. Wearing Snake protective Boots is recommended
Avoiding Snakebites:
Some bites, such as those inflicted when snakes are accidentally stepped on or encountered in wilderness settings, are nearly impossible to prevent. Wearing Snake protective Boots is recommended. But experts say a few other precautions other than wearing these Snake protective Boots can lower the risk of being bitten:
Leave snakes alone. Many people are bitten because
they try to kill a snake or get a closer look at it.
Stay out of tall grass unless you wear Snake protective Boots.
Remain on hiking paths as much as possible.
Keep hands and feet out of areas you can't see. Don't pick up rocks or firewood unless you are out of a snake's striking distance. (A snake can strike half its length, Hardy says.)
Be cautious and alert when climbing rocks.
