Looks like Erin Palette’s mom got bite by a rattle snake while gardening this morning, and then had the extra joy of having an allergic reaction to the anti-venom and will be in the ICU over night.
Please keep her in your thoughts today, and take this as a lesson as to why it’s a good idea to wear work gloves when doing such things. I can say that I’ve been guilty of not wearing the proper clothing or gloves when clearing some brush recently, and it was damn stupid of me. If nothing else, it’s a good thing I didn’t run into any poison ivy.
