In California, rattlesnakes bite about 800 people in a typical year; approximately two are fatal in a year. The threat usually begins in April and will decrease by September.
A rattlesnake in this file photo rises up out of the grass next to a trail in an area between the O’Neill Regional Park and the Cleveland National Forest. Snakes come out from hibernation in the spring and hikers need to watch for them when on trails.
Be careful when stepping over the doorstep as well. Snakes like to crawl along the edges of buildings, where they are protected on one side.Do not handle a freshly killed snake; it can still inject venom. Apply a light, constricting band about 2 inches above and below the bite, but never place the bands on either side of a joint . This band should be made up of wide, soft material, such as a handkerchief or shredded clothing.Do not cut or slice around the bite site.Do not take medicines or consume alcohol/caffeinated drinks.
