I have a severe phobia of snakes and im going camping where there are rattlers what do i do if i get bit?

please help!! oh and i cant just not go.
Answer:
Wow you are very courageous to confront your phobia like this!Actually the chances of you seeing a snake are slim. The chances of you getting bit are even slimmer.You can get a snake bite kit and it will come with directions. But it will probably never be used.Snakes don't come after you. They get away from you if they can. If you interrupt them as they are sleeping or sunning themselves and they have no way to escape, a rattler will warn you with his rattle to stay away. Don't make any sudden moves and he will probably go in the opposite direction..You shouldn't move large rocks, and you should look before you sit down. I would wear thick socks and hiking boots.Have fun.
just visit discuxx.com and they teach you how to kill sneaker mentally!
tie the bite off and go to the hospital
Find out how far the hospital is and make fast tracks.
take a smake bite kit, also carry a long stick and tap out in front of you and side to side make lots of noise
suck the bite, but dont swallow (no really?) and call 911, but chances are, you wont get bit
omg, I'm the same way. I'm even afraid of fake snakes, you know those rubber ones. i don't think that if you get bit by rattle snake they're is much help for you. i think you need to get immediate medical care or else you'll die. well good luck! :)
Then you wont go %26 have fun.
Keep your mind off from them ( %26 DISTANCE)
dont worry, youll be fine.
Theres lotts of people goes camping, you cant worry about EVERYTHING hon, orrrr you wont have fun, get your but out now %26 enjoy yourself, life is to short to worry about DANG snakes. have fun.
just crab the snake by its neck each time you see one
please do not worry, rattlers are more afraid of you than you are of them. A couple of simple hints:
1.watch where you step, be waware of your environment.
2.rattlers are cold blooded animals and seek out areas where they can warm their body (southern exposure hillsides) avoid those in the afternoon.
3. listen, they will warn you by rattling before they strike
4.stay on walking paths if possible
5.look before you reach for something to pick it up.
6.wear high-top hiking shoes and thick socks.If this makes you feel better, the great majority of rattlers will rather retreat than strike. If you notice one in your immediate environment, stay still, it will move away.do not know where you are going to be hiking, but in most areas you can call for help on your cell and request antivenin.
If you do get bitten (an this is very unlikely) make sure the bite site is below level of your heart, be still, rapid movements speed up blood circulation and thus speed spread of the venom. Most rattler bites are not fatal... but the person gets very seriously ill and requires immediate professional attention.
Try living in Australia, I know atleast 10 people that have been bitten by a king brown and will have nerve damage for the rest of their life. You have it easy in America lol :-P
i have the same too. if you are going camping then wear long boots that come up to your knee. and also take a sleeping bag with you and always keep your whole body inside it. you may also like anti-venoms.
