Thanks!

Rattlesnake antivenom runs thousands of dollars a vial, and it can take several vials to treat the bite. I wonder if the parents had insurance and if not then whether that played a part in the doctor’s decision.

No. It zinged out and slithered back into its hiding place in a flash. Eeek!
About a half hour later (when I could breathe again) I banged on the rafters with a long stick.
When it seemed safe to do so, I shoved some mothballs into the cracks.

Ever since then, I’ve regularly tossed mothballs into the attic, under & around the house & carport.

In the back of my mind from 30-40 years ago, I recall a time when doctors in some country went on strike for a while — maybe India (not sure). During the period when doctors weren’t working, mortality rate in the country decreased substantially.

That was the State of California.
