"Being cold blooded, rattlers like sunbathing..." Ha! At first I thought the reporter was describing the reptilian tabloid executive who works for that trashy 'Access Hollywood' show.
Anyways...I do sincerely hope that the poor creature makes a full and complete recovery. That poor rattlesnake had no idea how many germs and diseases he could be exposed to by biting into a trashy Hollywood tabloid executive. Perhaps a local animal rescue group will go out and attempt to locate this poor snake. The rattler will definitely need some immunity booster shots and strong antibiotics after sinking his fangs into this tabloid executive's leg!
Hollywood taboild executives come from the same genetic pool as serial killers, lawyers, sex offenders, politicians and white collar scam artists. A hapless animal unfortunate enough to bite into any one of these low-lifes is very likely to become deathly ill and suffer an extremely slow and agonizing death.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the poor rattlesnake and I do hope the unlucky serpent makes a full recovery soon.
This one seems right up your alley. Ping.
She was bitten by Keith Overbite. An attempt to eliminate imagined competition.
He was also responsible for the “tingle” is Chrissy Matthew’s leg.
I am greatly surprised that these California ER docs didn’t seem to know much about poisonous snake bites symptoms. There is a doctor at the Loma Linda Med Center who is one of the nation’s foremost experts in poisonous snake bites and their treatment. He consults widely to other hospitals throughout the US.
The Santa Ynez Mountains are so pretty. I’ll bet she wishes that she’d been wearing cowboy boots. Silly LA RagMagger.
Odd, indeed, that the dogs didn't provide any warning...
Imagine if this happened under Obamacare.
We have copperheads in the woods around my yard, I saw one two years ago, then a couple of weeks later I was pulling some weeds near my house and I felt a WHAM on my ankle. It hurt liked hell and I looked down and saw two marks on my ankle. I just KNEW a copperhead had got me. Then I felt a WHAM on my arm and on my back. It was at that point I saw the yellow jackets swarming out of the ground. I hate those little suckers, I waited until dark then poured gasoline down the hole, lit it off and enjoyed the fireworks. No more yellow jackets.
Those ground dwelling ones are the worst. They’ll gang up on you, too.
I also know someone who was bitten by a rattlesnake two weeks ago and spent 6 days in the hospital. She was watering plants on her patio and heard a clicking noise which she thought was the hose. When she reached down to straighten what she thought was a kink in the hose, he got her on the hand. Nasty business.
What stood out to me was the doctors who tried to convince her it was a friggin panic attack. They do that way too much!!! We have to be our own advocates.
Several years ago, I took a neighbor on his first deer hunt.
Barely an hour into the hunt, we spotted his deer on the opposite side of a small canyon, and he shot it.
I stayed put, to guide him to it through the brush. As he reached it, he turned and started running and yelling.
I called across to ask what was the matter?
It had folded up, then slid down the hill a short way, going over, and stopping next to, the entrance to an underground nest, and they were P.O.d.
We ended up getting a rope on it from a safe distance, then pulled it farther down the hill.
There was another thread on FR today about people letting cobras and pythons loose in the everglades.
And, of course, our native buddies:
Golly - you’d think the snake woulda granted amnesty out of professional courtesy.
Generally, I don’t bother killing bugs outside the house, but the typical yellowjacket over-reaction to a passing lawnmower makes their deaths a genuine pleasure.
I don’t do the fire-in-the-hole trick, tho — just funnel a cup of gas down in there and plug it with a wad of dirt.
I like to imagine their buggy screams of horror as their wings melt off.
Little bazzards make mean drunks in the fall, too, when they feed off fermented fruits on the ground.
LOL good grief!
