Snake bite while weeding
Andy writes;
I just had a neighbor that got bitten on the finger by a
copperhead while he was weeding his garden by hand.
This is North Texas and we have a LOT of copperheads
and mocassins around, and they are a constant hazard.
Last month, I killed two coppers and one mocassin, and
the mocassin was a very close call.
Anyway, I just thought I'd post this as a caution to remind
folks that critters lurk under them thar rows of stuff.
Anybody else here had a close call, or a bite, while
gardening......?????
