NOT in FL much to my surprise.

quote:

Victor Pratt, 48, was throwing his child a birthday party when a rattlesnake slithered into his yard. Upon seeing the intruder, Pratt decided to take the opportunity to teach his party guests how to catch and cook a rattlesnake. Pratt said he grabbed the venomous snake to show off to his friends and family when he lost his grip on the snake’s head, freeing the snake to attack him. Pratt sustained a bite to the chest and the face

quote:

"Ain't gonna play with snakes no more," Pratt said.

How does a news outlet find out about these kind of stories? I'd be trying to keep this as on the DL as possible.

Pratt was sedated for five days, including during the procedures and his transfer to Phoenix hospital.

"I lost five days of memory," Pratt said. "I didn't know where I was for five days."

Dr. Curry said keeping patients with face bites sedated is crucial to keep them from pulling out the endotracheal tube.

"(If) that endotracheal tube would come out, because of severe neck swelling, it would be difficult or impossible to immediately put it back in or immediately perform ... an emergency tracheotomy," Curry said. "Because if that tube were to come out, then we would expect that they would be in very big trouble immediately, and perhaps might even die in four to five minutes."

Did that snake frick him up or what?

Don't handle venomous snakes. Just kill them and dispose of them quickly.

After being bit twice, once on the chest and once on the face, Pratt said he knew immediately that something was wrong, having been bitten once before when he was 19.

If he didn't learn anything from this, I hope at least his child did.

I know it is one of the most played out and over-used cliches, but "play stupid games win stupid prizes" certainly seems to apply here.

I'm guessing that this isn't an uncommon occurrence for this chucklefrick.

Pratt sustained a bite to the chest and the face. His family immediately rushed Pratt to the hospital, which doctors say saved his life.

"If an airway is not established in the first few minutes, in our experience less than 15 to 30 minutes, then those patients really don't have a chance to survive,'' said Dr. Steven Curry, Banner hospital's toxicology director.
Just missed out on that 2017 Darwin Award.
