Snake Bites: Information for Families
While a bite from a poisonous snake is a serious injury, deaths from venomous snakes in the U.S. are unusual. Still, venomous snake bites can happen, even in places close to home like backyards or walking paths. Flooding or changes in weather can drive snakes to seek dry ground, sometimes bringing them closer to where children play. Learning when and where bites are most likely to happen—and how to respond—can give you peace of mind as your family enjoys time together outdoors.
