      <![CDATA[In California, we know that Spring, when the baby rattlers start to be active, is the most dangerous time for bites because the juveniles tend to inject all the poison they have, whereas the adults, who've had more experience hunting, only inject enough to take down small prey.

      <![CDATA[Back in my army days, on the field training excercises we'd do to Yakima, one of the biggest things they'd warn people about was rattlesnake bites.  Listening to a bored-sounding Yakimite range officer explain that, yes, snakebites occurred on the legs, but the most life threatening injuries were to the hands and face... because the soldiers absolutely HAD to get a picture of themselves kissing a rattlesnake to send home to whomever.  The problem, evidently, was not the kiss per se, but the fact that the snake was royally pissed off and it was hard to put it down and get away fast enough.  God, I miss those days...

      <![CDATA[When we lived in Eastern Washington when I was a kid we used to keep a snowshovel on the back patio by the door... My dad told me it was a "snake spanking paddle" and when I became mildly hysteracl about the idea of hurting the snakes I was assured that they werent dead, they were just napping...really its no wonder my parents had to sit through many a teachers conference.
