twenty-seven-year-old lien blue Gardens
she has no idea she is just seconds away
from an encounter with one of the most
venomous snakes in the United States the
western diamondback during sweltering
Tucson days like this it spends its time
coiled up in the shade of low-growing
shrubs like the kind found in Lien’s
backyard garden but what the way to do
okay what would that pose what if that
fails that’s nice
now we’re putting you in lian’s place as
you reach down for a ripened tomato a
four-foot long rattler accelerates at an
inescapable 220 miles per hour as fast
as an arrow shot from a bow
and heat-sensing pits behind each of the
Diamondbacks nostrils detect the
slightest difference in temperature
enabling it to target with lethal
accuracy then the snakes hollow one-inch
fangs pierce Lien’s knuckles instantly
delivering a potentially deadly dose of
hemotoxic venom as soon as it’s injected
digestive enzymes in the venom begin
destroying tissue and may trigger a
deadly process where the skeletal
muscles break down and the blood fails
to coagulate which can lead to
uncontrollable bleeding
wait okay what was that would you know
how to beat the bite what would you do a
race to find a cord to tie off the bite
site
be carefully wash the wound with soap
and water or C cut the wound and suck
out the poison
here’s what you should consider growing
as large as seven feet long the
diamondback rattlesnake is responsible
for more deaths than any other snake in
North America and it injects a deadly
tissue destroying venom right into its
victims system the average heart pumps
roughly 2,000 gallons of blood through
60,000 miles of blood vessels each day
it takes just one minute for all that
blood and whatever foreign bodies might
be in it to make the round trip to your
heart there’s no question you need
medical help
and fast make your choice
