re: Rattlesnake bite claims Oklahoma Marine’s leg

We had a soldier bitten by a rattlesnake in Fort Hood one year - we were just a hundred yards from the road or whatever, took him straight to the troop medical clinic (had him there less than 10, 15 minutes after the bite - and within 10 minutes or so he was in a helicopter headed for the main hospital) - he was still kind of messed up 2 weeks later. He lost part of his calf.
Rattlers are nothing to mess around with. We never heard this snake until it struck and it got away before we could kill it.
