Good luck driving after a copperhead bite. My southern copperhead bit me less than a week ago and I just rolled around on the floor for 6 hours. Then spent the next four hours puking. Then I went out to eat because it wasn’t hurting so bad. Then the pain came back and spread to my butthole and felt like I was being raped by a hunting knife for an hour. Then it wasn’t hurting so bad anymore but spent the next 30 or so hours with nausea. She bit me from a food response. She was wanting out to roam around and so I picked her up and sat her on my lap like usual, but wasn’t thinking about my body heat being higher than usual due to detoxing off methadone and when her heat pits went off she just got stupidly excited and tried to eat my thigh. And so since it was a food response and not a defensive bite, I got a very large dose of venom.

[@timpedro2606]

Pre-hospital positioning is a little controversial. Some people recommend keeping the affected extremity at heart level because they fear that elevation will increase the systemic absorption of the venom. Dr. Spencer Greene (well respected and prominent toxicologist) recommends early and aggressive elevation, because the volume of venom is so insignificant that elevation is unlikely to make a difference in absorption. On the other hand, the volume of fluids that accumulate in the affected extremity is significant, and elevation will reduce that swelling. He reports seeing dramatic improvement within 30 minutes of elevation. If the patient is exhibiting systemic signs and symptoms or if there is high likelihood of systemic toxicity, e.g., following a large rattlesnake envenomation, maintain the limb at heart level in the pre-hospital setting. The affected extremity should never be placed below heart level. This will increase the swelling and hydrostatic pressures that lead to tissue injury.

I was bit by a copperhead and didn’t go to the hospital and was fine! I took some Benadryl and Ibuprofen and monitored it. If pain and swelling radiates to your knee seek treatment, otherwise all the hospital will do is clean it (because of bacteria, not venom), give you a tetanus shot, something for pain, some antibiotics, and then bill you $50,000+ (which you could get the next day from your doctor for $100). Very rarely Is CoFab (anti venom) given for copperhead bites.I’ve had small 30 lb dogs survive their bite with zero permanent effects. It will hurt like nothing you have ever experienced, but you won’t die or have nerve damage unless you are allergic. Copperhead Venom is relatively mild.

Running over a snake is never a good idea.

The snake had been caught up by mud tires on the front of the truck and somehow thrown onto the under carriage of the truck. The snake was still alive and crawled down off the under carriage and was under the truck when the man stepped out.

My grandson received a copperhead bite when he was 4 years old one night here in east Alabama .

[@reb1050]

It's amazing how many postings there are that recommend improper actions. I have no idea who Clint Pustejovsky is or where he got his information, but here's the scoop from the Mayo Clinic: If possible, take these steps while waiting for medical help: Move beyond the snake's striking distance. Remain still and calm to help slow the spread of venom. Remove jewelry and tight clothing before you start to swell. Position yourself, if possible, so that the bite is at or below the level of your heart. Clean the wound with soap and water. Cover it with a clean, dry dressing. Note line 4. Position yourself, if possible, so that the bite is AT OR BELOW THE LEVEL OF YOUR HEART Now, allow me to put in my two cents worth. #1...IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, KILL THE SNAKE! Then put the dead snake into a container of some sort and carry it with you to the hospital. There are different types of antivenom for different types of snakes and since everyone is not capable of recognizing the various kinds of snakes, carrying the snake with you will eliminate the guesswork of what kind of snake it was.

Elevate above your heart because it slows down circulation (kind of like when your hands goes to sleep) and so will slow down blood flow to and from the extremity so that the venom can't travel as quickly through your body.

[@IIBloodXLustII]

Elevating it causes the venom to rush from your arm faster. The reason why your hand goes to sleep is that it isn't getting enough blood flow. You want to keep it below your heart so that the venom moves slower. Also you want to apply a pressure bandage if you have one. Actually scratch that. Don't worry about any kind of elevation or anything. Keep calm and get to the hospital.

[@louismccarten4710]

Get thee to an emergency rm or medical clinic asap.

[@Samuel-I]

Kill the snake. Take it to the hospital for positive ID because antivenen is horrifically expensive. You don't want $250,000 worth of treatments for a specific snake bite when they injected a different type venom because you didn't identify it correctly in your panic. (Or take a picture)

[@56tuffguy]

Wrong on so many levels.

[@buick4013]

Samuel I Your own urine is free.

[@AzzKicker-bz1cb]

+Frank Rizzo What is wrong on so many levels??? The cost of anti-venom, killing the snake to take to the ER with you, or the backing away from it???? Or was it just the part about raising the extremity??? If I were to get bitten by any snake, I’m gonna do my best to kill and recover that snake so that an anti-venom can be made on the spot for the bite. I’m gonna place a tourniquet around that extremity upstream from the bite to slow the venom’s progress toward my heart, and get my ass to a nearby ER! Anything wrong with my ideas on first aid??? Are they also wrong on so many levels??? If they are, instead of just blurting that diatribe out, how about explaining why they are wrong??!!

[@56tuffguy]

AzzKicker 1234. First of all, never kill the snake. You stand a much higher chance of being bitten again. The antivenom is the same for all pit vipers. Please don't call yourself an expert.

[@AzzKicker-bz1cb]

+Frank Rizzo Thank you Frank! I never did call myself an expert!!! But I appreciate your vote of confidence!

[@xFattyCakeSprinklesx]

I have the same last name. I'm from Texas ...wonder if we're kin folk lol

[@richardvilla6194]

Common sense is to get to a hospital ER ASAP.

[@kimberlywheeler8596]

Jeffery dalmers brother maybe

[@bushwacker3292]

If he bite ya on the ass how to keep up high ?

[@dannymccoy1783]

Gezzzzz,,,,,,I'd of NEVER thought to call 911...lmgdfao.....soooo funny.....I DO have a PET Copperhead that is as tame as can be..5 years i free handle him EVERYDAY....I also have a western diamondback that i have had for 8 years..SOOOO,,,,,I DOOOO know a little bit about venomous snakes but i NEVER knew about 911...HAHAHAHAHA

[@lelandbrowniii5168]

Answer me this Mr dipshit how the fuck did you not know about 911

[@jackchambers2126]

They hate number 6 shot.

[@lindamoore192]

Or ......u just don't get bit by staying out of areas where they're at

[@reb1050]

And where might those areas be? I just read an article about a woman being bitten by a Copperhead in a Longhorn restaurant. This was back in 2017 somewhere in Virginia.

[@samiam1254]

Common Sense says go to the emergency room....I have common sense so I don't need a newspaper editor, a news media reporter or a celebrity telling me ANYTHING!!

[@jefferywilliams5878]

So let me make sure I got this right. If a copperhead bites you get medical attention, how about if you're leg gets bitten off by a shark? Do you need to seek medical attention as well? How about if you put your hand in a fire and it hurts do you remove it from the fire? Gee whiz Mr you are so smart.

[@happysawfish]

Easier to spot these things when I condcrated me entire yard.

[@thenightphotographer]

Call 911... DUH!!

[@strokerace4765]

If you put the bite in the air the poison will go to your heart

[@pigtrapper1329]

I would take a bynadrel and sweat it out. Figure if it works for my dog... itl work for me. Ain't no way I would waste money at the hospital for them to inject me with who knows what kind of chemicals

[@IIBloodXLustII]

What'd he get bitten by? Also, its possible that it was a dry bite. If you get bitten by any kind of venomous snake it is extremely life threatening and isn't an allergic reaction that can be treated with any anti-allergy medicines. Some rattlesnakes and all coral snakes are particularly deadly because they shut down your nervous system and cause you to die from suffocation or cause your heart to stop.

[@pigtrapper1329]

Bradley McDaniel it was a copperhead for sure. Ive been around them for 32 uears, and no it wasn't a dry bite.... his face swelled up the size of a volleyball. The main thing that kills a dog from a copperhead bite is from a collar choking them. Do some research man... benadryl does work. I understand that rattlesnakes and coral snakes are different. I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with going to the hospital for

[@TomFromYoutube]

pigtrapper 1 I was just thinking the same thing. You ever know anybody that got bit though?

[@pigtrapper1329]

Tom guy I know that was checking water meters got bit by a baby copperhead... which is worse than a grown one, he sat in his truck for 3 hours and sweated it out before he drove back to the shop. This was early 2000s so cell phones wernt real popular. I'm not worried about a copperhead... I would go to a vet for a rattlesnake bite for sure, but not a hospital

[@TomFromYoutube]

pigtrapper 1 so what happened after that? He get sick?

[@AmericanIdiotPolitics]

Put the limb in the AIR????????? That sends the venom straight to your organs and heart.

[@dreamgaits]

You can look right at them and not see them.

[@kevinstreeter6943]

I was expecting more than a 1 minute video.

[@fiatvoluntastua9183]

Do 100mph to your nearest hospital is WTF you do

[@FalconsWhiteSox]

Copperheads won't kill you. I don't think.

[@markrumfola9833]

Don't touch them

[@yeahsure9035]

I have noticed with copperhead God ✝️ Given camouflage, in pine needles & leaves the hershey kiss marking can create a look 2 the human eye like a spiral dark colored ribbon . They camouflage extremely well. They don't give ground. So b careful out exploring nature. God ✝️ Bless everyone. Please don't kill His ✝️💕 Creatures. Unless it's 4 food. No snake is God ✝️ Approved 4 us 2 eat.

[@ericwood2790]

That was a waste of 1:11

[@jerryhenry662]

stupidity doesn't help either try thinning them out

[@fmorin71234]

They are so docile though

[@fmorin71234]

shellcracker7 yes if your a asshole then they will be aggressive. If not you will have to step on one to make it bite. Now if your worried about family or pets then by all means kill it but in 30 years of working with Alligators and snakes I see nothing aggressive about Copperheads

[@fmorin71234]

shellcracker7 that's pretty crazy why you have such a concentration at your place. I would be in because I'm a base jumper and skydiver with no family. Are rodents rampant there?

[@MrAcook61798]

You mean bitten.

[@lindaskeens2255]

Epsom salts will draw the venom out.

[@mcake1234]

Copperhead is a doddle.

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

Duh

[@zanewoodward4822]

If you see one kill it Because next time you might not see it !!!

[@larrybaker9924]

Go to your dermatologist and get those 3 bumps off your right cheek. Those are very distracting.

[@BurtBowers]

Another reason not to live in texas dont need to be bitten by a cooperhead..

[@Pmedic605]

That was lame.

[@dwade6322]

Extremity WAY UP in the air ?? No. Thumbs down.

[@nwm-beibei1800]

He look just like Jeffrey Dahmer

[@ghostmost2614]

Call 911 Blame Trump then sit and wait for help.

[@joshsparkman8033]

Total blather. Not informative

[@klprds]

Not very informative .

[@psandbergnz]

Insufficient advice!
