Snake Bites
Dijukno envenomations in North America are almost caused by either
pit vipers, or much less frequently, coral snakes?
A pit viper, aka a rattlesnake, water moccasin, or copperhead
bites with either one or both retractable fangs. This can
produce immediate pain and swelling in the area of the bite within 15 minutes.
If pain and swelling is not apparent after 30 minutes, envenomation
likely didn't occur. You will typically have discoloration and a blister
form in the bite area, which may lead to destruction of the skin tissue.
Other symptoms you may experience are a funny taste in your mouth or a
tingling in your lips within about an hour.
