Mark Kayser posted on IG that his wife was bitten above her ankle by a rattler yesterday. She is recovering after a stay in the ICU and some antivenom treatments.

Had three snakebites last night. Two were confirmed Copperheads. One unknown owner insists was a timber even though he didn’t see the snake… blood work and dog’s mentation is NOT suggesting timber

But

Can’t post the other two as pets are identifiable @ location of bites

Didn't know HIPPA applied to dogs?

Just kidding!

Ran into another one Tuesday night while rucking. This was about 9 PM and he was stretched across the trail. Coiled up about the same time I realized what I was looking at. Scooped it off the trail with my trekking poles and was going to leave him, but it’s a popular trail with plenty of people, dogs, and kids. Ended up clubbing it with a big rock. My phone was stashed away in my pack, so I didn’t take the time to dig it out to document. Decent size, but smaller than the first one I ran into a few weeks ago.

Where do you practice that you see so many snake bites? I have a few vets in my family, don’t remember anyone dealing with this many bites.
