Dealing with venomous Snakes
Saturday, March 17 10:00 am to 12pm
Its spring and we will be getting outside and may run across a snake
in the woods. Although the vast majority of human-snake encounters
involve non-venomous species, occasionally a venomous snake may be
encountered. Although interactions between people and venomous snakes
rarely result in someone being bitten, the potential exists,
especially if the snake is handled or harassed. Robert Arnold M.D.
expert on snake bites will present us with an action plan regarding
what to do in the event a venomous snake bite.
Concentrating on species from the local area members of the Kentucky
Herpetological Society will familiarize participants with the small
percentage of snakes which present a potential danger to humans.
Space is limited so please RSVP by calling 458 1328. The cost of this
event is $10 per person; $5:00 for LNC Members and Scouts in uniform.
