There are no bad snakes, only bad snake owners.

Copperhead bite isn’t that bad unless they hit a vein or something central.

Mostly just swelling.

That being said, Kid was a jerk.

I did too, only it was a cotten-mouth that got me.

Sick as a dog for about 6 hours. Parents came home, mom freaked out.... dad shrugged and said. "He's alive, he'll be ok, No point wasting money on a MD....."

Almost all venomous snake bites are a case of Stupid. “19-year-old man” is standard, and I’ll bet there’s a “Hold my beer ...” in there somewhere, too.
