[QUOTE="CJ John, post: 1760082, member: 41926"] I was bitten by a copperhead after dark in my yard. I got in the light and saw two puncture marks on my ankle. I killed the snake and took it to the hospital with me. A DNR guy showed up and verified it was a copperhead, They watched for about 1 1/2 hour and nothing really happened. A few blood vessels around the bite darkened but no real swelling. Found out later that 1/3 of snakebites are a dry bite---- its just a warning bite. But hospital gave me the antivenom anyway! That was a MISTAKE on my part allowing them to do so. I got sicker from the antivenom than I did the snakebite------and developed several allergies over the next 10 days that I never had before!! I went on the hunt and found several others in the area also. None survived! [/QUOTE]
