I didn’t even see it when it nailed me. I was on my knees scooping a
litter of kittens out of a muddy depression where they had been living
into my tee shirt. Had a thunderstorm and a river of water was
running behind an outbuilding where the kittens were. I felt a
scratch on my elbow. When I got up I saw a snake moving but didn’t
think much of it, then I looked at my elbow and saw a couple little
drops of blood, then I went back and kicked the area where I had seen
the snake and it moved enough to where I see what type it was.
Was a couple of hours before I got to a hospital. Spent a couple of
days in the hospital. Arm swelled up larger than my leg. The
swelling was the miserable part. At least my skin didn’t split. That
happens. I met a little girl that lived out in the West desert of
Utah. Bit on the arm. She had lots of scars from the skin splitting
on her arm.

I was a farm kid, lived way out in BFE. Nearest neighbor, if they
were home, was more than a mile away. Communication was via notes
left on the kitchen table. “Went to town for parts... etc.”
Party line phone (gasp, people could listen in).
Everyone had more patience back then. Got bit by a rattlesnake
when I was a kid. Nobody home. I called the bar at the closest
town (15 miles away), somebody tracked down my parents.

I remember when my kids were young and would walk the 4 blocks
to town we would just make sure they had change for the
payphone. It’s kind of sad that now you have to get 10 year
olds a cellphone. Of course now the neighbors would probably
report you to the police for letting your kids walk to town or
the park on their own.
