Handie - good advice - my sister-in-law (who lives in Atlanta) just spent several days in the hospital after being bit by a venomous snake - just on the tip of her finger. Her whole arm swelled up - when she required it the anti-venom - it turns out that can be as dangerous as the bite. They keep a crash cart near you when admnistering the anti-venom. She is fine now, but I might add, be sure and wear gloves when working in the flower beds/garden - she was just going to pick up a handful of leaves when she was bit.
