7Seventeen.... I went to your Wiki link you posted. You need to check the original citations at the bottom of the page for the "copperhead" bites. Both episodes are SUSPECT.
A Macon County man who was twice bitten by a poisonous snake died Sunday at East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika.
Relatives said 31-year-old Trent Leprette of the Little Texas community, was swimming in the Saugahatchee Creek, near Loachapoka, when he received a bite to each hand by a copperhead snake. It happened last Wednesday. Leprette, a former medical technician at the hospital, was given anti-venom but his condition worsened because he was allergic to snake venom.<<<<
Two bites and it looks like the cause of death was allergic reaction and not Copperhead venom. Yes, the snakebite was a factor in the death, but not the direct cause of death.
OK 7Seventeen...There has never been a documented death from a SINGLE copperhead bite. In the case of copperheads, it is my understanding, the antivenin is much more dangerous then the actual bite due to the risk of allergic reaction. Anyway, I hope the facts will come out. Again my condolences to his family and loved ones.
My condolences to his family. I doubt this story. It is my understanding that there has never been a confirmed case of a copperhead bite killing a healthy adult. NEVER. The venom is not that strong. If this story is true alert everyone, because it is a first.
I live in a condo in downtown Chatt and I am trying to leave as soon as possible. The thugs are in control here, no doubt about it. I have a license to carry and EVERYTIME I am out out night I am armed. I dont care where the "gun free" park boundrys are. My firearm will never be seen or out of my front pocket unless I need it. If I NEED it, hopefully I will still be alive to answer to a jury of my peers. All you naive people that thought the park ban would keep the criminals with guns out of the parks got a good lesson tonight. The police in Chattanooga can't and won't protect you. I am making sure I protect myself until I can get my a-- out of here.
I live in a condo downtown and pay @ $8000 in city and county property taxes a year. Enough of this bulls--t. The thugs keep coming in and the police are worthless as far as I'm concerned. I am getting out of Chattanooga ASAFP!!
I tried the Terminal Brewhouse yesterday and I was very impressed. I had the Belgian White beer and it was EXCELLENT! I also had the Tony Montana sandwich and it was EXCELLENT! The atmosphere and the building were very nice and perfect for a neighborhood bar. My bartender and my waitress were both very attentive and friendly. I will be going back soon!
