A 26-year-old woman was airlifted to a hospital Saturday morning after she was bitten by a rattlesnake while hiking with her dog on Romero Canyon Trail near Santa Barbara.
The woman was about a mile and a half up the 6-mile loop trail when the snake bit her in the foot, Montecito Fire Protection District officials said. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff/Fire Air Support Unit responded and transported her to the hospital via helicopter by approximately 10:15 a.m. Meanwhile, firefighters hiked back down the trail with the woman’s dog and brought it to Santa Barbara County Animal Services, which will reunite the pair, officials said.
SFGATE reached out for additional details regarding the woman’s condition, but fire officials said they did not have more information at this time. Comments on social media from relatives appeared to say the woman has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home.

Hog snake, king snake? They sound big. I may come across a snake the size of a pencil and scream bloody murder.
MN is a liberal cesspool but where I live, most of the snakes are players in the DFL

Make the slithery things use a step ladder if they are going to bite you...
In some places they hunt them, and the rattle is a means of finding them, and the selective pressure has caused them to stop rattling, and just strike. Don’t know if that trait is spreading.
Maybe you should be for freedom of speech.
We moved from Silicon Valley to NW Arkansas a few years ago. We are next to a ravine. I only take my dog out front to do her business because I think it’s safe than the backyard.Supposedly the copperheads come out even to the streets in the evenings, but I haven’t seen one. I hate snakes!

WOW! Weiner dogs just went up on my like scale! BTW first one is NSFW.
Who hurt you? You seem very butthurt. Why are you so triggered? Go bother someone else, Karen.
Oh I see now. YOU are one of those people always buried and distracted by their phones. You took my one short sentence personally. Got it.
You’re the cutie that posted a stupid comment about a woman who was bitten by a rattlesnake, first comment right at the beginning of the thread. You had no idea how she got bit, yet you came up with that snide, sophomoric comment for no damn reason - other than you don’t know the lady and could get away with saying something stupid.
Here’s what I hope for you: that you or your nearest and dearest are never bitten by a poisonous snake - and if you ever are bitten, nobody says anything thoughtless about you.
Lmao at you
As you say, “read your posts to see who you are”.
We can clearly see who you are - a little man posing as a conservative.
Resorting to female shaming attempts. Please.
