Oh I know what you mean! It is comforting to know that someone understands. I am thankful we are both okay.

I was bitten twice on my right foot by a Southern Pacific Rattlesnake. It was a Sunday afternoon in Southern California and I had stepped out of our car from the passenger side and a baby rattlesnake bit my foot twice. It was in a guest parking space in the condo complex we had lived at for 16 years. They was housing construction going on just the other side of the parking spot and I guess this Sunday afternoon this little guy decided to have an afternoon siesta sunning himself in this particular spot. Neither my husband or myself notice him sitting there when we turned into the the parking spot. Once I got out of the car, the snake had moved under the car, and my husband backed up the car so we could see what type of snake it was. It just had one little rattle on it. Anyway I was able to take a bunch of photos of it before my hands and arms started to go numb. On the way to the hospital my face and mouth were going numb and my teeth were starting to ache. My legs then started to go numb and by the time we got to the ER my head felt like it was going to explode. Anyway, ended up staying in the hospital for 4 days, 1 night in ICU, and was administered 12 vials of antivenom. It will be 4 years since my snakebite on October, 2020. Thanks for sharing your story. It is comforting to see that someone else experienced a similar ordeal. Not that I would wish that on anyone else. Wish there was a way to post photos here. I am especially hesitant to step out of a car at night time now when I can’t see the ground. But for the most part, I am just fine. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d get biten twice by a rattlesnake!
