Sorry about the bite. Hope you’ll be OK.
Concerning the statement about “Climate Change”… it’s FLORIDA, the climate changes every day
A sobering reminder that climate change usually snakebite season is normally April-October
Glad they kept him overnight.
I was bit in 2012 and west Florida hospital didn’t even clean the wound and sent me home within minutes, told me I had a “dry bite,” unfortunately I woke up in the middle of the night in hypovolemic shock . I was alone and without access to cell coverage, in a remote area and too weak to seek help. I struggled until I could get to a country doctor and was treated. Turned out significant amount of viper venom it’s a wonder I lived and was left with kidney damage
What A ALex and Former Boy Scout said.
Yes, very strange this time of year. We have names for the snakes in our yard that have cute little round eyes, all others, we have Jack Russells.
Hope the man feels better soon. That is painful!!

Wouldn’t take too long to sit down and learn what type of poisonous snakes inhabit N.W. Florida. Like @A Alex said many non-poisonous snakes are very beneficial. Maybe use it as a teaching moment for your kids if they play unsupervised outside.
Killing all snakes is really a blind eye to your health. Your rat snakes and corn snakes will kill poisonous snakes to do away their compitition. Not to mention they eat rats and mice that eats your house and car wires. But its your choice
My worse nightmare, I kill all snakes, I’m aware that’ll
make some of you angry but I have small children
and don’t have time to google deadly from friendly
“get well soon”
I encountered an angry hornet yesterday. Bees, wasps, are normally dormant in January.
My worse nightmare..wishing you a speedy recovery.
Very unusual for this time of year, but we’re not having much of a winter so far. Hope this person recovers fully with no complications.
