My wife lived in southeastern Arkansas in Desha County as a child. She sat on one of their ant hills. A guy grabbed her and tossed her in atub of cold water. She was lucky the man was a cop there on a call and knew what to do. Her grandmother ran a boarding house and one of the renters had got out of hand so she called the police. One other thing she tells me about too. A boy she knew was going to go dig up night crawlers along the Bayou behind her house. A man past by and saw the boy asked him what he was doing and went on. Then he went back real quick. Too late for the kid. He was catching baby Cottonmouths.
WOW,,,that had to hurt,,,
I’ve only had 4-5 bite me and that was plenty!
Snake bites don’t seem to kill as many people as they used
to because of the anti-venom and choppers,,,
Mostly pulpwood cutters in a hurry...
