"Despite his family urging him to go to the hospital and seek treatment, "he refused and went to sleep" believing the snake's bite carried no venom due to its age."

7. IIRC, baby snakes are actually more deadly because they cannot yet control

how much venom they release in a bite. They just release it all.

There was a (kinda) local story a few years ago about a woman in flip flops who stepped on a baby Copperhead inside a Ruby Tuesday. She was bitten and the article explained how dangerous it was despite the size of the the tiny baby snake. Think it happened near Charlottesville, VA?

Host consensus is this OP doesn't meet the criteria in the SOP for this forum:
