Man dies from Rattlesnake bite in Penn

Unread post by mike »

At 39 old man died from a reaction to the rattlesnake bite he got at his camp. Apparently, he was sitting around a fire around mid-night when he somehow got bitten. Maybe the snake moved near the fire to get warm. Anyway, you can read about it here: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2015/07/ ... rU.twitter

Yup. Lots of mice will mean lots of rattlesnakes.
