Thank you for this great info. I live in the country and it's snake season out here, ugh!

Thanks for the info. I've been looking though a lot of videos trying to find some numbers in terms of how much time you have to get to the hospital to survive if you are far away from a hospital. I've been having a hard time finding that info.

Very informative!! I didn't know that trying to prevent high blood pressure could help, but it makes sense. Why shouldn't you suck out the venom?

I usually run into rattlesnakes when I’m 20 miles in the backcountry with no cell phone service and am hiking solo. Even if I get to the car, it’s another couple hour drive to any kind of civilization. What do I do if I get bit? Try as I might, I’ve never found an answer to this question…

What kind of loser is only 30 minutes from help while out on a trail? How about trail runners far from help?
