While I have never been bitten, I have talked to several that have. Both went to the hospital just as fast as they could get there, within an hour. The snakes I am writing about are those of western Wyoming, they are supposed to not kill healthy adults. But even with hospital treatment experience was very painful, and affected area had massive swelling. One man still had badly,redish-brown, discolored patch on his arm a year after being bitten. And he told me it felt at times a bit numb, like it was asleep. The one had been bitten while working an irrigation ditch, and the other bailing hay. Biggest problem is that often the snake is injured in some way by the tractor, or hay bailer, thus angered and very nasty. The operator has to be especially careful when stopping to clear any obstruction wherein a snake may be mixed up in the hay. I was told that the others, in the area that I did not meet, were struck in the upper body because of kneeling down and reaching into the hay. Such a snake bite is supposed to be much more serious than on the lower leg.
