If you are ever bitten by a snake, DO NOT attempt to treat it yourself
you will only make it worse. Especially, DO NOT make any incisions you
may cause serious injury or even DEATH by cutting an atery!
The best thing to do is remain calm & get to a hospital
immediately. If it is possible take the snake with you for proper
identification.
Chances are (in this area) that you are not going to be bitten and if
you are it's very unlikely that it will be from a venomous snake since
there are only 2 possibilities, the copper head (most likely) &
rattlesnake both of which are seldom encountered unless you are looking
for them. Regardless of what you've been told, there are NO naturally
occurring cottonmouth this far north!
Given the location of the bitten cacher it may have been anyone of the
3. But probably a cotton mouth or darkly colored rattler.
God bless!

Ouch!
And people make fun of me carrying my "first aid" kit:
Scalpels (2)
Epinephrine ampoules (3) (Incl 5/8" SQ needle and 3' needle, j/i/c)
Dexamethasone Ampoules (3) (1" needle)
Lidocaine 2% ampoules (1) [local anesthetic]
Sutures (5 asst)
Betadine pkts (5)
3way antibiotic ointment (2)
bandaids
tape: Plastic,1"Wx14ft
4x4 pads - 4 pouches of 2ea
After looking at that, this list doesn't even look close to enough!
