Snake Safety: Spring in Austin

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Spring in Austin brings bluebonnet fields, but also prime snake season. Local emergency doc Kevin Smith warns of increased snake bites from April to May. Most snakes are harmless, but watch for venomous ones like rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and coral snakes. If bitten, snap a photo, stay calm, and head to the ER. Treatment depends on the bite, but antivenom is available for pit vipers. Stay safe by sticking to paths, wearing closed shoes, and leashing pets and kids.
