No Comments Snake Class
As part of my volunteer firefighting course, I took a snake class. The class was designed to help us identify the Venomous snakes around north Georgia, and how to administer on the sceen treatment of an envenomated person.
There are six venomous snakes in GA, four of which are found in North Georgia.
Copperheads
Cotton Mouths
Canebrake Rattlesnake
Eastern Diamondback
Pygmy Rattle snakes
So what do you do if a venomous snake bites you?
No you don’t try to suck the venom out, or put magical stones on the wound to draw the venom into them… You just sit down and die? Nope!
Statistically over 99% of venomous snake bites in the US are not fatal.
So if you are biten by a venomous snake, just go to the hospital. They have anti-venom there, and will also treat the symptoms.
Still the best thing you could do is stay away from these guys in the first place.
