The rattlesnake was hiding under a decorative pot when it bit the woman on her foot.
Jamie Donnelly A Green Valley woman was bitten by a rattlesnake on Wednesday morning, prompting a reminder that the reptiles are active now that spring has sprung.
Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | Omny Studio To avoid being bitten by a rattlesnake, watch your step when hiking or in your backyard. If you do see a rattlesnake, take one or two steps back in order to try to get out of striking range, the Arizona Daily Star previously reported.
Rattlesnakes are attracted to vital resources such as food, water and a safe place to live. To deter rattlesnakes from staying at your home, eliminating rodents is a good way to start, the Star reported. If you are bitten, immediately go to a hospital. Cutting into the bite area, trying to suck the venom out, using tourniquets and applying ice are all discouraged, officials have said.
