[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 770808, member: 2653"] When I was 14, a freshman in high school, I slipped on my dad's pair of boots to cut some firewood and a copperhead was in the right boot. Bit my second toe. Closest hospital 30 miles away, I think dad made it in about 15 minutes. Had to stay in the hospital a couple of days. They had to give me the anti-venom because the poison had circulated through my body by the time I got to the hospital. I'll never forget the doctor turning his back in the emergency room and reading how to treat me. That was almost 30 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. It actually didn't hurt as bad as I thought. It felt like a really bad bumblebee sting - which still hurts like heck. I'm so used to getting stung by wasps and bees when I got bit I actually just hopped into the house and calmly told my mom and dad that something in the boot had bit/stung me. My mom came out and turned the boot upside down and hit the back. Down dropped the copperhead, and mom let out a scream like I've never heard before (or still to this day). Dad made it out within a second or two, cut it in half with an axe, put the snake in a paper bag and off we went to the hospital. I remember being scared I was going to die, but dad has a way to talk to you that makes you feel like everything will be fine. Still feels like yesterday when that sucker bit me. It hurt a lot more when I saw it was a snake. :lol2: [/QUOTE]
