RememberSchiff 3662 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 http://wtkr.com/2017/05/25/11-year-old-north-carolina-boy-bitten-by-copperhead-at-birthday-party/ A North Carolina Cub Scout was bitten by a copperhead snake at his 11th birthday party. “I was running from my friend who had a water balloon and … I guess a snake jumped and got me, I was scared because some snakes are very poisonous.†Now the Cub Scout wants other kids to know what to do and what not to do. “Something I shouldn’t have done I went straight to the bathroom and checked it,†The Scout said he should have called for an adult right away. Luckily a family friend and former EMT was nearby to help, calming him down and relaxing the scout to slow down the venom. “It was already starting to swell and he was in severe pain,†the EMT said. I'm glad the former EMT was there. Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Flagg 909 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Copperheads are nasty. Had a neighbor's kid get bit and he went through 5 vials of anti-venom and was in hospital for a week. Link to post Share on other sites
