Response to Original message |
| 5. My understanding is that venomous snakebites |
|
are predicted to be higher than normal this summer, nationwide. (wish I could remember where I saw the Link). We certainly get our share of them here in the NorCal Valley... extra attention to those common-sense "snake precautions" is warranted, especially when hiking. Watch where ya' put your feet and hands, avoid wearing cutoffs if hiking in brushy areas, and learn the proper response to snakebite (as opposed to what we see in those 1950's westerns).
