Very good videos. My first Wilderness Medicine experience was 1991. Doing research on the snakes in the area I was going to, I spoke to our State Dept of Conservation expert. He told me about the car keys treatment! Now we can add cell phone, we had radio then. Experienced dealing with coral snakes and suspected snakebite. Really enjoy the videos and the subject matter.
How much time after bite can I say it's dry-bite? Maybe can I touch the blooding bite with my finger (or maybe with lip (and speed up watching the symptoms), because that's sensitiver than every other body part)? How much time do I have before die if a snake bitten me and it is poisonous?
1.) Obviously, you won't know if a venomous snake bite is dry or not, so 24 hours is a good rule, if you haven't seen any symptoms in that amount of time, then it was probably a dry bite. 2.) Touching the blood with any other body part is not advised, but moreso, most of the time the venom won't affect healthy skin on the outside. The danger comes from the injection into the tissue and bloodstream. 3.) If a snake bites you and is dangerous, then it is venomous. There are very few "poisonous" snakes. In order for a poisonous snake to be dangerous you would have to bite it. Thats the difference between poisonous and venomous. But to answer your question, if you are bitten by a venomous snake, that does not necessarily mean that you are going to die. Most people live. Now, you may lose a finger or a part of the dead tissue if bitten on the leg or something, but it doesn't mean you are going to die if you get bit. But yes, some snakes can make you die within minutes, (mostly those outside of the US.) Some snake bites, if you were to die, can accomplish this in a few hours.
There are some ppl who get bite by diamond back snakes and refuse treatment. What happens to a person who was bit on the outer ankle by a diamond back. There is a religious group in KY that catch and handle snakes in Ky. They frequently are bitten.
"Sometimes testicles get bitten" Who in the abstract (or perhaps actual) fuck would put a rattlesnake near their testicles?! (Reads news articles from Florida) Oh, that guy...

Places like central NM, south of Santa Fe, can be CRAWLING with MANY rattlers. Beware :)

I am almost always off trail 😅 only seen a couple. We look carefully where we step. You cannot be zoned out off trail.
Jim Carrey knows an awful lot about snakes!

They usually die or have long lasting effects from their hemotoxic venom.
Even cobras won`t go after you man, nor attack you! I`ve been catching cobras for a long time for the production of anti venom, I`m sure about it!
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, Sometimes testicles are bitten, WTH were they doing that they could be bitten there?
@Willfromsc - who the hell will suck out the poison on the testicles? If a friend of mine gets bitten on the testicles, he's a dead man!
Taking a dump without looking or digging a hole 😁
I would like to add they are a great source of protein 🤠
For the record you can encounter them on a trail
I guess dry bites happen quite often.
Calistoga Pioneer Cemetery
"Dont tread on me" flag is what I think of
"Sometimes testicles get bitten"
Who in the abstract (or perhaps actual) fuck would put a rattlesnake near their testicles?!

Oh, that guy...
Add drunks to the list. Some guys think that you can take a break from holding them by tucking the snake between their legs....
