anti-venom is really expensive. Why wasn’t he wearing snake proof waders?
That and I’m surprised he didn’t hear the snake was close by before he was bitten.
I grew up in that area of Florida, he’s lucky a helicopter got to him and rushed him back to Shands ICU, that’s 50-60 miles each way
I’ve run up on a rattlesnake in the wild and there is nothing scarier than hearing those rattles go off, you know they are really close by and are warning you to get back or you will be bitten.
