Had a 4 foot rattler in our yard 2 days ago not uncommon around here. Do not go into the yard without good hiking boots and jeans that come down over the top of the boot no matter how hot it is. We are careful with the dogs and children but if you live around them you k is how to protect yourself. Keep the grass around the house mown short and never stick your hand where you can’t see what’s around the area. use a stick
Yep! When you’re in Rattler country you always have to be aware. I’d still like to know where and how the child got bit.
Thanks. The only high boots I have are rubber rain boots. I guess I need to get some leather high tops. I have some that are sturdy leather and go just to the ankle. I suppose that’s not high enough. Are you in the Oklahoma area?
