Yikes! I’ve seen 6 foot rattlers while out hiking in Florida, that’s freaky enough.
This must be the only folks in Florida without a firearm in their vehicle?
A tire shop I did business with had an employee die after removing a leaking tire from a rim. The customer complained of a slow leak flat. The shop guy broke the bead and ran his hand around the inside of the tire feeling for the cause. Something scratched his hand. He dropped about five minutes later from a heart attack. The tire had a rattlesnake tooth which had punctured thru the tread. The employee was elderly with a heart condition. The rattlesnake venom entered his hand and got in his bloodstream.
