About half of all snake bites are caused by stupid people picking up what they believe are dead snakes!
See a "dead" snake......leave it alone, stupid!
While most rattlesnake bites are not deadly. It is easy enough to lose a couple fingers from the venom.

Have you ever tasted rattlesnake? I have not, but am looking forward to it. I hope it's not the proverbial "tastes like chicken..."

Tastes....."like chicken!"

Dammit. I was hoping otherwise. Oh well. Prolly just like frog legs. Blindfold someone and feed them chicken and frog legs, and I bet they can't tell the difference. Same with squirrel.

This is my arm during the 2nd surgery, 36 hours after the bite. You can see how unhealthy all the tissue is.

This is my hand, also during the 2nd surgery. There is a lot of dead tissue in the palm.

That's quite possibly the most disturbing/disgusting thing I've seen in my entire life Taosman

I've seen a lot of shows on venomous snakes on Animal Planet recently. It is amazing how much damage the venom from these guys can do.

I've heard that you can do yourself real damage if a speed wobble develops at high rpm in a sticky situation, but I never dreamed it could be this bad just switching from the right to the left hand. Greenies for you Taos, I think a lot of BP'ers will be leaving the acrobatics to the professionals.
