Venomous snakebites can be painful and
expensive, says expert

Summary:

Coming to an area near you: snakes, and plenty of them. With unusually warm
temperatures and plenty of rainfall this spring, experts say this could be a
bumper crop year for snakes. While Texas has never been short on the snake
commodities list, people and pets should be aware that they are out and about,
says an expert.

Coming to an area near you: snakes, and plenty of them. With unusually warm
temperatures and plenty of rainfall this spring, experts say this could be a
bumper crop year for snakes. While Texas has never been short on the snake
commodities list, people and pets should be aware that they are out and about,
says a Texas A&M University expert.

Jill Heatley, associate professor of veterinary medicine, notes she and
other veterinarians have already seen several snake-bitten pets brought into
the Small Animal Hospital at Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary
Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

She says a snakebite on a human can be painful -- and very expensive.

It is not uncommon for a person bitten by a venomous snake to have medical
bills of $50,000 or more because of hospitalization, which can run from one day
to several weeks, treatments on damaged tissues, plus antivenin treatments that
can run into the thousands of dollars, she adds.

Although snakes are found in most of the world -- Ireland, Iceland and New
Zealand are some of the few snake-free countries -- only four types found in
Texas are venomous: the coral snake, copperhead, rattlesnake and cottonmouth
(also called water moccasin), and the state is a ground zero, slithering
paradise for all of them.

"The thing to remember about snakes is that generally, they want to be
left alone. They are probably more afraid of you," Heatley explains.

"Of the four types of venomous snakes in Texas, the coral, copperhead
and rattlesnake are almost never aggressive unless they are provoked. The cottonmouth
has been known to be a little on the aggressive side, so you should be a little
more wary of it, especially if you are near a creek or lake where they have
been frequently seen."

Heatley says an inquisitive pet can be a snakebite victim.

If bitten, a dog usually suffers the bite on its face or nose, while cats
tend to be nicked on their paws, she explains.

"The area that has been bitten will usually begin to swell almost
immediately, and that's a tell-tale sign to look for," she notes. Venom
can spread quickly inside the animal, and kidney failure can result within 12
to 24 hours, which is why a bitten animal needs immediate treatment.

She says it's important to know that all snakebites are not the same.

"Sometimes an animal or person will get just a small amount of venom
from a bite, and sometimes it's much more," she adds.

"There is also such a thing as a 'dry bite' in which no venom is
injected at all. And also, larger snakes tend to have lesser amounts of venom
than smaller ones.

"One of the questions we often get is, how can you tell a venomous
snake from a harmless one? The answer is that's difficult because there are
numerous types of snakes that are not venomous that look very similar to a
venomous one. Look for the triangular- shaped head," Heatley notes, while
adding that coral snakes are brightly colored with rows of yellow, red and
black markings. But a coral snake is part of the cobra family, so its venom can
be very potent.
