I know a person that got bitten by a rattlesnake and did NOT even KNOW that he was bitten. He was hiking and noticed that he had a slight limp, then he figured it out and went to a hospital - where they told him that it was a rattlesnake bite. Between a rattlesnake and a copperhead, I would think that the size of the snake would be more determinative of how much poison whichever one had.
...........And even IF that article was correct......I am sure that the CORAL snake is a close 2nd.
......Also, if the CDC says NOT to suck out the rattlesnake or copperhead venom........then I stand corrected.
Be prepared to stand...
