LoL. I worked in pre-hospital medicine in southern AZ. I will put my personal experience with snake bites up against most people. Average deaths by snake bite annually in the US? 5.

I think this guy was at an RV show down at Lamar Dixon about 4 years ago. Enjoyed watching him but I still thought he was nuts.
RIP

He was definitely at the show.
I was working with Bowles and he was just behind our booth.
Said he had been bitten 100’s of times.
Crazy old man dngaf!!

There is a pretty big rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater Texas that I have always wanted to go to.
Did it move to Freer, or is this just another occurrence of the same type of event?

A lady I know in Belmont TX was bitten by a coral snake. She was air lifted to a San Antonio hospital. The antivenom caused a heart attack which she recovered from. Antivenom is heavy medicine.

A shoulder bite is close to the carotid artery.
I thought that the roundups were to collect snakes to be milked for their venom to make antivenoms.
