Come to think, of it no bicep pump, no muscle left, etc:

I think that one should of been posted in the WTF thread.

Did that thing come out of Area 51? Seriously, WTF happened to that guy's arm. That's gross looking.

This reminds me of all the listed side effects in drug advertisements. No thanks, I'll deal with the original problem.

A rattle snake bite caused that much damaged? I know they're poisonous but didn't know they could inflict that much damage.

Not much snakes where I'm from (pretty pumped on that. I hate those things) so I'll admit I dont know much about them but I thought that if someone got bit by a poisonous snake that it was best to squeeze/suck out the poison and spit it out immediately after the bite in order to avoid or lessen the chance of getting an infection or something like like. That along with getting an anti-venom shot as soon as possible.

Did that guy get bit and just let it get infected to the point that his whole arm got swollen to the point they had no other choice but to operate on him and take out tissue/muscles?

Have a link to the story?

This was a guy at our local university in the bio department. The snake bit him, and he didnt know it right off. Look at his first finger. He got 2 units if anti-venin and then air lifted to our level one. Anti-venin is expensive and has a very short “shelf” life. We keep some here just because rattlers are common. Like BMSOB mentioned the venom does tissue damage and the swelling can get so out of control, a fasciotomy is done to relieve the pressure. This guy will get to keep his arm.

Well by the sounds of things it's great that he'll be able to keep his arm but how can you not immediately know you've been bit by a snake? I've been stung by bee's before and that has to be a lot worse.

Never liked snakes and I don't know how people can have them as pet's. I think one of my cousin's has a Boa and one or two tarantula's. Let's the tarantula's roam free in his room. No thanks. Snakes and spider's are two of the thing's I hate the most.

There's only one kind of snake...the Rattle headed copper moccasin. I don't mind them staying where they stay but when they wanna be where I stay things get ugly for them.

Don't come to Australia. Everywhere at the moment. Btw the everywhere ones are the second deadliest in the world. Plenty of 3rd around too
Fucking Eastern Browns are a nasty dumb critter.

I found a 50cm Dead baby rattle snake when I was taking a piss on the side of the road in California. Left him in the back of my rental Ute then later stuffed him in my large soda cup. Scared the Mexican dude at the return car rental place when I said "check this out mate a rattle snake" I had hold of him hanging down. Dude ran back swearing Haha. Left him in the magazine rack in the waiting room Hahaha.
Beautiful snake.

Person looks skinny. I bet it doesn’t take long to regain....still has decent muscle tone. They did a good job.
