Sled dog gets bit by rattlesnake. Finally, proof that there is global warming.

Good dog! He should get a soup bone for a reward.

The thing that interests me is the lack of antivenom. I saw a report a few months back with snake milkers who claim the new medical rules are putting them out of business.
If I recall correctly they are no longer providers of medical services or something so the wonders od socialized medicine won’t pay them.

Since his problems are permanent, a regular diet of barbecued meat is on order. And plenty of biscuits for dessert.

I read on FR that planned on not making coral snake anti-venom as its not cost effective. The alternative is 2-3 weeks in ICU on a breathing apparatus or death...

This article from
Popular Mechanics: "Snakebites About to get More Deadly" partially fills out your report. While their focus is upon anti-venom for the Coral Snake, it shows that much of the problem is the same as treatments for rare/'orphan' diseases, low volume means high research and manufacturing costs which means little commercial interest.

I used to catch snakes for antivenom production, now it takes so many government permits it isn’t worth the effort and risk.
