Welcome to the forum from Sweet Home Alabama! I was bitten by a cottonmouth on the foot (barefooted) when I was 6 years old down by a river that was close to our house. Luckily my Father was with me and he and my Mother drove( or I should say raced) me to the Hospital. I was sick for two weeks from the venom. If I didn't get to the Hospital when I did.........wouldn't be here today!
My foot was swollen so much that I could not wear a shoe for a month. That was the Summer of 1955 and medicine back then was not what it is today.

Our small community made a big thing out of it.........had a write up about in the newspaper and neighbors lined up at the front door wanting to know what it was like getting bitten by a snake. I told them it hurt!

I lived in Alabama for a couple years. Those crazy would have one guy chasin away snakes with a stick so the rest of them could swim in the river. Nope. Not this ( mod removed )Yankee.

Snakes are what they are. This one bit my snakeboot in Texas turkey hunting but after a load of #6’s we ate him for dinner. Here in MS we have more cotton mouths and copperheads than anything else.


look close and you can see the blood where he hit my boot.

Welcome to the forum from the dry lakeless hills of Lake City FL. An irony... I know. If lakes grew here as much as your knowledge will, Lake City would become an ocean.

Welcome again!
