Copperhead snakes, while venomous, are generally not deadly to humans. Their venom is relatively mild compared to other venomous snakes, and bites typically result in symptoms like pain, swelling, and nausea rather than death.
What was he supposed to do, he was already bitten so nothing ellse to do than relaxe and get help. Now if he was out on his own and off grid he might react a bit differently but there surrounded by people and safety is within reach pretty fast there is nothing to worry about.

@@jessevallejo8797Obviously but it’s common nature to panic when you feel threatened or in danger. It just takes skill and time to learn how to control yourself and not react extremely
@lookensiong4635, I remember one of the people I worked with as a kid at a horticulture nursery, she was bitten by a Copperhead after stepping into some tall weeds to empty a bucket. Sadly she suffered random seizures and she had one a few minutes afterward. It was pretty scary to see that, it took 4 men to hold this scrawny woman too. An ambulance soon arrived and thankfully she recovered from everything.
@@jessevallejo8797no it’s actually not about being hysterical. Freaking out will cause your heart rate to go up therefore pumping the venom into your arteries MUCH quicker
A grown man has like a 99.999% chance of surviving a copperhead bite, even without medical attention! It's like a bee sting... PAINFUL, but not much to worry about. Our snakes are very weak compared to yours. Except for the rattlers! But even they are rarely fatal
There were also 370 reported deaths from snake bites In the United States in 2023. 17 were from copperheads. Most copperhead deaths come from a heart attack the next day due to clotting. Super serious to get to a hospital when you get bit by a copperhead. Bee stings don't cause blood clots and necrosis of tissue. Contortrostatin does. That's an awful comparison. In modern times, it's rare. Before the turn of the century, you were screwed.
Australia definitely has more venomous snakes. But the US has one of the most venomous as well (western coral and yellow bellied sea snake). And the Mojave rattler has one of the most toxic venoms on earth. and the largest venomous snake in the world(eastern diamondback.) And some species we don't have anti venom like the massasauga.
Hiker did a great job here. Gave himself just a second to grasp the situation, found the nearest help, and perfectly communicated what he needed. This is the guy you want with you when things go down.
He also kept track of the snake for proper identification. This helps ensure he gets the right anti venom! It’s also possible he got a dry bite or a low dose injection. I’d like to know what happened from here.
Dude handle this like an absolute champ. You can tell he wanted to panic but he kept it in check and even continued considering others ahead of himself.
You have to try and stay calm in that situation. the more you freak the faster your heart beats and the faster the venom spreads. Not sure if I ciild have kept my cool like that.
Hope this guy survived and got the anti-venom in time !!! Serious shout out and hats off to that gentleman that ran not walked, but ran to get help !! I guess there is a little bit of hope for humanity !!! God bless !!
copperheads do not kill people. their venom is not nearly potent enough to outright kill you. antivenin is actually kind of a waste. there’d have to be a lot of other things wrong for you to die to a copperhead bite. about 0.01% of people that have been bit by a copperhead have died from it.
@@MrHOMERUNS Take deep breaths breath in for about three second through your nose and then breath out for 5 seconds and then repeat after a minute or two your heart rate will start to go down and if your lying down you might even dose off for a while.
Calm and collected. Assesed his situation and made the best decisions for himself. Perfect example of what we should all try to do instead of panicking.
Well tbf he knew it was just a copperhead, which makes it a lot easier to keep calm. If it was a more dangerous snake, or even if he simply didn’t recognize it, he might’ve been much more panicked lol I guess copperheads are “rare” in this particular park, but they’re extremely common over most of America. Lots of bites every year, serious injury is very rare and fatalities are basically unheard of. Just keep the bite below your heart, stay calm, and make your way over to the hospital just so they can keep an eye on you in case something happens. 99/100, you’ll be perfectly fine. What a beautiful snake though.
Panicking in a situation like this can kill you. Literally. Why? Because of your heartrate beats faster forcing the blood and venom to travel faster, resulting in a shorter window to get medical aid, and as a result, the shorter amount of time it will take to kill you. However, staying calm may have saved his life including other factors.
@@Gaian-Commander But most people would freak tf out and try to get away from the snake at once in order to not get bitten again. I don't blame people for instincts. Therefore, this man is pure gold.
@@carsonwillard9767you don't know that. Without knowing the area we don't know how serious this is. People produce anti-venom all around the country. There's a guy who does it a hour from my city and we have no venomous snakes that I'm aware of. If we do they're incredibly rare. My point is anti-venom could be minutes away for all we know so nobody is to concerned.
If treated in a timely manner Copperhead bites aren't overly lethal, that's why he's acting so nonchalant about it. He assessed the situation and knew there was no immediate danger for his life.
@@dontcare7086anti-venom should almost never be used for copperhead bites. Technically it is a medically significant bite, but just barely. It’s considered like mild or benign, I forget what they call it, but any sort of serious injury is extremely rare, and fatalities are almost unheard of. He’s so calm because even if they were stranded a week away from medical help, he’d almost certainly be just fine. The fact that he’s going to take a trip to the hospital just so they can keep an eye on him makes it so that there’s nothing at all to be concerned about.
@@xFcDoveRI mean you don’t normally “treat” a copperhead bite. I guess they’d clean and bandage up the bite area, but idk what else you’d expect them to do besides watch you. Very rarely does anything medically significant result from a copperhead bite, but it’s always a good idea to go get checked out and observed just so you’re in the right place something does happen
Nah nah chill my man, it’s just a copperhead, he prob couldn’t have made that bite kill him if he tried. He absolutely handled it perfectly, but also he was almost certainly never in any serious danger. He’s saying “oh that’s not good” because a copperhead bite will absolutely ruin your hike and day, but not like a “oh no I might not make it” kind of “not good”
The mortality rate of untreated copperhead bites is .01%, sure it isn't fun but not life threatening. That's also the rate for envenomation, if it's a dry bite then there's really only a risk of infection. North America honestly doesn't have any native snakes that are extremely deadly, with even our most venomous snake (the eastern diamondback) only having a 10-20% mortality rate when left untreated which honestly is pretty low.
@@AdorableFloof1999 are you suggesting that’s the rate at which copperhead bites are envenomation? Because even they’re notorious dry biters, that number is wayyyyy too low lol. I assume I’m misunderstanding your wording because you’re otherwise pretty spot on
It was just a warning straight from a copperhead. Their venom isn’t very potent end it attacks the muscle more so than the neurological system if I’m not mistaking
@@AdorableFloof1999 Right. The copperhead is very common in the south and it’s venom isn’t very toxic and a warning strike will produce a lot less venom than a kill strike. The Cottonmouth is more aggressive but the Eastern Diamondback produces more toxic venom at a higher volume. I’ve killed a couple of each in the southeast and I’ve been pretty lucky so far
Camera man never dies. No but seriously…so glad there was someone that could run get help and the rangers were actually doing their job and got in time.
You had an Angel with you for sure. 1 another Person was in close proximity to you and ran quickly to get you help. 2 the Rangers responded pretty quickly. I’m glad you are ok and hope you have a speedy recovery and healing process. Man that would be something! Whew!!!!
Not necessarily. If the person getting him help read the situation incorrectly and thought it wasn’t time sensitive to get help it could’ve taken a lot longer.
@@getfragged7051 if you panick and make your blood go faster it dont help with venom types. Usualy; dont move, breathe slowly (not deeply since it actually make your heart faster) and try to remain calm all while expressing the situation. If you tell someone you got bit by a snake and to go get help, most of us know its "urgent'', you'd have to be a morron and one of nature's failure not to get it, and trust me, if your life is the hands of someone like that, you are fucked either way
@@hidesan7794exactly! Even if it’s a joke we should still go get help. Snake bite isn’t to be taken lightly. Being calm is one of the first things our grandparents taught us when we were children. I grew up in the province which means children are wild😂. So parents and grandparents had no choice but to warn us about the dangers if nature.
@@_RJG_and your leg is very hard to isolate.. a hand or especially a finger can easily be squeezed and while you do run the risk of said thing dying because the venom is isolated and the part isn't receiving oxygen, but it's so much better than the venom spreading.
You handle yourself really well. Staying calm and not freaking out is the best thing to do. Keep your blood pressure down and your heart beat down can really save you.
@@rodneyharris3470I’d consider that calm my guy, he didn’t so much as yell, not even when he was trying to get other hiker’s attention. He remained calm, seeking out help and addressing the matter as cordially as possible.
This is the most calm person I have ever seen/watched in youtube even when bit by a f*****g copperhead. Hats off to you sir. I hope you are healed and healthy.
Panicking will only make your heart beat faster, which in turn will obviously make your blood run through you faster.. in this case it was more beneficial to stay calm, keeping the venom from reaching anywhere important. Luckily in this case there’s a .01% of being done in on these things so that kinda helps
For anyone wondering why he's so calm after getting bitten by a venomous snake, adult copperheads can actually control their venom glands and keep from releasing venom when they bite. Initially they usually give dry "warning" bites before trying to actually inject venom. The reason everybody here is pretty calm is probably because he just got a warning bite. From what I've heard from people who recieved venomous bites, if he had actually gotten a venom bite, he would have been in pretty bad pain that would slowly travel up his body as the venom entered his bloodstream. Copperhead venom isnt particularly dangerous to adults but evidently hurts like an intense bee sting. EDIT: I wanted to address some things brought up in the comments. I live in the southern US. I have never been bitten specifically by a copperhead, but I personally know several who have -- both non-venomous and venomous bites. I am not a biologist, but I am friends with an expert in the field and study snakes and reptiles in some of my spare time. My info on how painful copperhead venom is is from accounts from others. When I said it was like an "intense bee sting", I meant that the feeling is LIKE a bee sting, but it is indeed more painful than one. Yes, he could have been staying calm to keep venom from spreading, but for how painful and noticeable copperhead venom is, his body language and lack of any panting or groaning led me to believe he was given a dry bite. The ability for adult snakes (and most young snakes as well!) to control their venom is still to this day debated among biologists. Some reports indeed show that venom gland infections and duct calcification are in fact SOME reasons why snakes like coppergeads dry bite, but several biologists also believe dry biting is sometimes a survival mechanism to conserve venom. The reality is that the reason dry bites happen can vary wildly from species to species. Although it does make sense, and seems to be corroborated from the accounts I've heard, that the snake would try to conserve its venom if it does not see you as prey or feel like it is in grave danger. Some of you brought out this could also be used to conserve moisture, which I think isn't an unreasonable conclusion, but might not be exactly right in climates with plentiful moisture like the Southeast US.
Idk about a copperhead but I got bit by a baby cottonmouth aka "water mocossin"and it was far worse than any bee sting. Like throbbing pain going up my leg. I stepped on it and just whipped its head back bitting me multiple times on my foot. Only thing that helped was massive doses of demerol every 4 hrs and elevating my leg. Doctors marked the swelling to keep track and it got up to my thigh before subsiding. I had to sign papers giving the doctors permission to amputate my leg if I was unconscious. This was the most painful thing ive ever experienced. Havent been swimming since.
@@ExtraOrdinaryEarth_ yeah cottonmouth bites are nasty as hell, my friend got bit by one and he has permanent muscle damage from it, def don’t want to mess with those guys
I LOVE everyone's reactions here. No crazy panic, no exaggerating the situation- just calm rational respect for the animal and what to do about it. Good work.
@Pokeety11 I highly recommend recording if you go out in nature. It's pretty nice outside. It might be fake, but even if It is, it wouldn't change too much. Something like that is easily treated.
Nice reaction to all parties. Hiker for staying calm and keeping tabs on the snake, bystander for RUNNING to get help, and rangers for adding comedy to calm nerves.
Too many people forget this is normal. That's depressing as well as infuriating to see so many people surprised at this interaction. That'll indicate mental health all over the place
@@j_c_d_byes, one of the few relatively venomous snakes prevalent in the US aside from cottonmouths and rattlesnakes. A lot less serious than many southeast Asian snakes, copperheads are almost never fatal, but this hiker still did the right thing by making sure the snake is removed and he is treated by professionals (hopefully they have anti venom on site).
After dealing with your DAR, gotta submit an incident report. And I’m sure it has to be reported copperheads are back. Thank God government wasn’t shutdown. Buddy would’ve been SOL without the rangers.
@Dicka899 if it's the wrong snake, and with the amount of time general 911 can take, helicopter ride out might not help. where as rangers are usually closer by and not too busy
This is the best example of stay calm and think through the problem. Kept his heart rate as low as he could, and was able to get someone else to go for help. The other hiker probably did save his life.
@teamlava6283 maybe but copperhead bites are rarely fatal, most of the time they dont even administer anti venom ( cause the shits 10k a vial) , they just treat the symptoms.
When you're from copperhead country you spot them miles away. Good on him for knowing his snakes tho, staying calm and kudos to the guy who just booked it for help.
@DaDawg-zq2tp Being able to interpret a sentence 2 ways doesn't make you slow, maybe indecisive. Not being able to understand how this could come off sarcastic makes you slow.
@@kcchiefsproductions8687how could it be sarcastic tho? He said good job not freaking out which he didn't freak out. Only way it could be sarcastic is if he did actually freak out 😅
If anyone is wondering copperhead bites aren’t usually lethal, with less than 1% fatality rates. They cause some pain and swelling, as well as other symptoms like nausea, muscle twitching, elevated heart rate and such. You’ll be fine most of the time but should still go seek medical aid. If you can’t it’s recommended you wash the area with warm soapy water. Happy hiking folks!
i have heard that the younger snakes are worse to get bit by, because they just unload ALL the venom they have. older snakes only do a reasonable amount so they can defend themselves later.
At least where I live, the national parks have numbers on their website and ranger numbers in front of major hiking trails with instructions on what to say to them in case of an emergency. So at least here you can call and say “hey I’m in this location of this trail and I need help.” That person could have gone to the trailhead and gotten info there and possibly better reception if that spot has bad reception.
Everyone involved in this situation were extremely calm and professional, no screaming and freaking out. The guy ran to get help asap and the guy who got bit stayed calm and stopped others from also being bitten. Well done to all
For anyone wondering, copperheads are incredible at camouflaging with leaves, aren’t extraordinarily dangerous to adults, though they hurt and make you feel pretty sickly for a day or so, and in southern parts of the U.S. they’re pretty common. Common enough to bite dogs. Depending where and what size the dog is, it can be fatal, but for most a course of antibiotics and about a day of shivering and vomiting is the extent. Stay vigilant, wear boots and jeans outside, and always remain calm. You have more time than you think to seek help. Get photos of the snake, identify it, and relay that to a medical professional if ever bit.
I have copperheads on the property I live at in hudson valley NY. A baby crawling up a window ledge coiled up like he wanted to strike me a couple years ago .
@@eriomnyc6073 I am also from the Hudson Valley (bottom of Ulster County) havent seen them here luckily as it would be bad with all our small kids running around here
You are supposed to wrap in with crepe bandage from the bite, firmly up the leg to stop the lymph system from pumping the poison through the body. Staying calm and not moving is wise. But you must act asap. And then be carried to the car. As little movement as possible.
This happened in June 2021 at Marshy Point Nature Center in Baltimore County. In the original video, the bitten hiker follows up after going to the hospital and suggests it was likely a "dry bite" as his pain was relatively mild.
Seeing the stranger not just walk, but start running for help made me happy.

Super serious to get to a hospital when you get bit by a copperhead. Bee stings don't cause blood clots and necrosis of tissue. Contortrostatin does. That's an awful comparison. In modern times, it's rare. Before the turn of the century, you were screwed.
As a Texan, that’s a bit over reacting on your part. They’re not that dangerous.
Australia definitely has more venomous snakes. But the US has one of the most venomous as well (western coral and yellow bellied sea snake). And the Mojave rattler has one of the most toxic venoms on earth. and the largest venomous snake in the world(eastern diamondback.) And some species we don't have anti venom like the massasauga.
@@A_name_is_a_name I mean there were 17 deaths last year from copperheads. The danger is the heart attack from clotting more than the venom
The way he stayed calm n nt panic was awesome, brave guy 🎉❤
Well done everyone keeping calm. It’s very satisfying to see a stressful situation dealt with well. I hope all turned out ok.
props to the stranger who didn’t hesitate to get help
oh yeah most people would've gone home first to take a shower, eat, sleep, then wake up the next day to get help
Yeah fr tho! I usually pretend to listen to music and put my head down when I cross paths with someone bit by a snake
Was there another option? What do you even mean props to him?
your standards for people are too low
Yea i would probably start recording
Hiker did a great job here. Gave himself just a second to grasp the situation, found the nearest help, and perfectly communicated what he needed. This is the guy you want with you when things go down.
The fact he didn't walk or freak out probably saved his leg
Facts
He also kept track of the snake for proper identification. This helps ensure he gets the right anti venom!
It’s also possible he got a dry bite or a low dose injection. I’d like to know what happened from here.
You did great job here too breaking down this video. Wow
Honestly he’s lucky someone was even in earshot.
Great reaction, and I liked park personnel attitude - fast, professional, and calm
Very chill attitude from the ranger.. which is a sign of seen if all been there done that experience. Very reassuring… ❤
Dude handle this like an absolute champ. You can tell he wanted to panic but he kept it in check and even continued considering others ahead of himself.
You have to try and stay calm in that situation. the more you freak the faster your heart beats and the faster the venom spreads. Not sure if I ciild have kept my cool like that.

Serious shout out and hats off to that gentleman that ran not walked, but ran to get help !! I guess there is a little bit of hope for humanity !!! God bless !!
copperheads do not kill people. their venom is not nearly potent enough to outright kill you. antivenin is actually kind of a waste. there’d have to be a lot of other things wrong for you to die to a copperhead bite. about 0.01% of people that have been bit by a copperhead have died from it.

He also asked someone else to bring help instead of having blood circulate even more by getting help himself. He definitely did well.
Calm and collected. Assesed his situation and made the best decisions for himself. Perfect example of what we should all try to do instead of panicking.
A woman would scream and panic herself to death… generally
Exactly. If he started running to get the ranger wouldn't that have sped up the process? Would've been the wrong call
Well tbf he knew it was just a copperhead, which makes it a lot easier to keep calm. If it was a more dangerous snake, or even if he simply didn’t recognize it, he might’ve been much more panicked lol
I guess copperheads are “rare” in this particular park, but they’re extremely common over most of America. Lots of bites every year, serious injury is very rare and fatalities are basically unheard of. Just keep the bite below your heart, stay calm, and make your way over to the hospital just so they can keep an eye on you in case something happens. 99/100, you’ll be perfectly fine.
What a beautiful snake though.
Bro I would be screaming like a bitch lol
Panicking is such a typical American reaction to even the smallest adversity. Y'all are watching too much TV...
In KY they are Super common but for that area it’s crazy. Good luck & a speedy recovery!
One of the best response from Emergency Team , This kind of response should get in each and every country so we can save lives.
Mad respect to the gent for staying so calm
Panicking in a situation like this can kill you. Literally. Why? Because of your heartrate beats faster forcing the blood and venom to travel faster, resulting in a shorter window to get medical aid, and as a result, the shorter amount of time it will take to kill you. However, staying calm may have saved his life including other factors.
@@Gaian-Commander But most people would freak tf out and try to get away from the snake at once in order to not get bitten again. I don't blame people for instincts. Therefore, this man is pure gold.
Get a life
@@Patchman-ve8npYou be nice.
Staying calm is common sense for situations like this
Mad respect for staying calm. That’s exactly what you should do in this type of situation.
Yeah. Keep your heart rate down, and therefore (hopefully) keep the venom away from all your vital stuff.
Mad respect to how calmly and effectively everyone acted in this situation to be honest.
Calm with urgency mind you
No easy feat at all
No way really? I thought you Were supposed to do a backflip while screaming at the top of your lungs
Dude didn’t get bit he was just randomly filming???
Hope you recovered well mate.
I was thinking those are common as hell... Until I heard where it was. Great job by all those involved. Handled perfectly.
Yeah I've narrowly avoided a copperhead strike more than once. They're all over the woods in east Texas.
Hiker :- Not good at all,Not good at all,Not good at all.
Ranger:- Congratulations.
Bro didn’t care one bit
@@carsonwillard9767you don't know that. Without knowing the area we don't know how serious this is. People produce anti-venom all around the country. There's a guy who does it a hour from my city and we have no venomous snakes that I'm aware of. If we do they're incredibly rare. My point is anti-venom could be minutes away for all we know so nobody is to concerned.
If treated in a timely manner Copperhead bites aren't overly lethal, that's why he's acting so nonchalant about it. He assessed the situation and knew there was no immediate danger for his life.
@@dontcare7086anti-venom should almost never be used for copperhead bites.
Technically it is a medically significant bite, but just barely. It’s considered like mild or benign, I forget what they call it, but any sort of serious injury is extremely rare, and fatalities are almost unheard of.
He’s so calm because even if they were stranded a week away from medical help, he’d almost certainly be just fine. The fact that he’s going to take a trip to the hospital just so they can keep an eye on him makes it so that there’s nothing at all to be concerned about.
@@xFcDoveRI mean you don’t normally “treat” a copperhead bite. I guess they’d clean and bandage up the bite area, but idk what else you’d expect them to do besides watch you.
Very rarely does anything medically significant result from a copperhead bite, but it’s always a good idea to go get checked out and observed just so you’re in the right place something does happen
He saved himself knowing he had to stay calm or pay the price. God Bless him.
Nah nah chill my man, it’s just a copperhead, he prob couldn’t have made that bite kill him if he tried.
He absolutely handled it perfectly, but also he was almost certainly never in any serious danger. He’s saying “oh that’s not good” because a copperhead bite will absolutely ruin your hike and day, but not like a “oh no I might not make it” kind of “not good”
The mortality rate of untreated copperhead bites is .01%, sure it isn't fun but not life threatening. That's also the rate for envenomation, if it's a dry bite then there's really only a risk of infection. North America honestly doesn't have any native snakes that are extremely deadly, with even our most venomous snake (the eastern diamondback) only having a 10-20% mortality rate when left untreated which honestly is pretty low.
@@AdorableFloof1999 are you suggesting that’s the rate at which copperhead bites are envenomation? Because even they’re notorious dry biters, that number is wayyyyy too low lol. I assume I’m misunderstanding your wording because you’re otherwise pretty spot on
It was just a warning straight from a copperhead. Their venom isn’t very potent end it attacks the muscle more so than the neurological system if I’m not mistaking
@@AdorableFloof1999 Right. The copperhead is very common in the south and it’s venom isn’t very toxic and a warning strike will produce a lot less venom than a kill strike. The Cottonmouth is more aggressive but the Eastern Diamondback produces more toxic venom at a higher volume.
I’ve killed a couple of each in the southeast and I’ve been pretty lucky so far
Camera man never dies.
No but seriously…so glad there was someone that could run get help and the rangers were actually doing their job and got in time.
Amazing how calm and very thoughtful you went true this! I would leave the place but you did good!
The fact he knew what kinda snake it was stayed calm asked for help and even walked himself over to the truck everyone handled this well 💯
A lot of Marylanders know what a copperhead looks like, and they’re pretty distinctive (except for their lookalike lol)
Yea i think staying calm helps slow the progression of the venom
not sure why the video calls it an "extremely rare snake"
@@CQchaos7474it’s not rare but in that area it is. Say your in the South Georgia Florida places like that then yea they are everywhere
@@shadow_tdexactly. Running and panicking raises your heart rate and circulates the venom faster.

Dude did exactly what he should. Deep breaths and stayed as calm as possible.
Dont take deep breath when u get bit by a snake
Arent you supposed to try to get your heart rate down.
@Chevifier Heart beats. Blood is pushed. So yes. Same situation applies when you are heavily bleeding. Slower heart rate. The better.
I would be screaming and crying!
Cut off circulation to the exposed area would’ve been my first idea, but sure, deep breaths will save your life 😂
The calmer you are in crazy situations, the faster you can get to the solution.
Nope
Not necessarily. If the person getting him help read the situation incorrectly and thought it wasn’t time sensitive to get help it could’ve taken a lot longer.
@@getfragged7051 if you panick and make your blood go faster it dont help with venom types. Usualy; dont move, breathe slowly (not deeply since it actually make your heart faster) and try to remain calm all while expressing the situation.
If you tell someone you got bit by a snake and to go get help, most of us know its "urgent'', you'd have to be a morron and one of nature's failure not to get it, and trust me, if your life is the hands of someone like that, you are fucked either way
@@hidesan7794exactly! Even if it’s a joke we should still go get help. Snake bite isn’t to be taken lightly. Being calm is one of the first things our grandparents taught us when we were children. I grew up in the province which means children are wild😂. So parents and grandparents had no choice but to warn us about the dangers if nature.
@@getfragged7051Do you think if the person who is reading calmly was instead shouting they would have been more accurate?

It’s actually super important to stay calm during this. Higher heart rate means the poison spreads faster.
@@_RJG_and your leg is very hard to isolate.. a hand or especially a finger can easily be squeezed and while you do run the risk of said thing dying because the venom is isolated and the part isn't receiving oxygen, but it's so much better than the venom spreading.

You handle yourself really well. Staying calm and not freaking out is the best thing to do. Keep your blood pressure down and your heart beat down can really save you.

Why do you address the video poster as if he was the bitten man?
The guy actually said idk what to do and was shaking. Opposite of calm
@@rodneyharris3470I’d consider that calm my guy, he didn’t so much as yell, not even when he was trying to get other hiker’s attention. He remained calm, seeking out help and addressing the matter as cordially as possible.

Bro is chill af. He really panicked in lowercase.
He handled that situation so calm and collected. Bravo! He kept calm and that helps
I couldn't. I didn't think I would anyway. Not sure, never had this happen 💀
Panicking will only make your heart beat faster, which in turn will obviously make your blood run through you faster.. in this case it was more beneficial to stay calm, keeping the venom from reaching anywhere important. Luckily in this case there’s a .01% of being done in on these things so that kinda helps
In a situation like that you're supposed to. If you were to panic and hyperventilate it would have made things 10 times worse.
It's just a copperhead; not a coral snake or rattlesnake
@@RK36_easier said than done
For anyone wondering why he's so calm after getting bitten by a venomous snake, adult copperheads can actually control their venom glands and keep from releasing venom when they bite. Initially they usually give dry "warning" bites before trying to actually inject venom. The reason everybody here is pretty calm is probably because he just got a warning bite. From what I've heard from people who recieved venomous bites, if he had actually gotten a venom bite, he would have been in pretty bad pain that would slowly travel up his body as the venom entered his bloodstream. Copperhead venom isnt particularly dangerous to adults but evidently hurts like an intense bee sting.
EDIT:
I wanted to address some things brought up in the comments. I live in the southern US. I have never been bitten specifically by a copperhead, but I personally know several who have -- both non-venomous and venomous bites. I am not a biologist, but I am friends with an expert in the field and study snakes and reptiles in some of my spare time.
My info on how painful copperhead venom is is from accounts from others. When I said it was like an "intense bee sting", I meant that the feeling is LIKE a bee sting, but it is indeed more painful than one.
Yes, he could have been staying calm to keep venom from spreading, but for how painful and noticeable copperhead venom is, his body language and lack of any panting or groaning led me to believe he was given a dry bite.
The ability for adult snakes (and most young snakes as well!) to control their venom is still to this day debated among biologists. Some reports indeed show that venom gland infections and duct calcification are in fact SOME reasons why snakes like coppergeads dry bite, but several biologists also believe dry biting is sometimes a survival mechanism to conserve venom. The reality is that the reason dry bites happen can vary wildly from species to species. Although it does make sense, and seems to be corroborated from the accounts I've heard, that the snake would try to conserve its venom if it does not see you as prey or feel like it is in grave danger. Some of you brought out this could also be used to conserve moisture, which I think isn't an unreasonable conclusion, but might not be exactly right in climates with plentiful moisture like the Southeast US.
Idk about a copperhead but I got bit by a baby cottonmouth aka "water mocossin"and it was far worse than any bee sting. Like throbbing pain going up my leg. I stepped on it and just whipped its head back bitting me multiple times on my foot.
Only thing that helped was massive doses of demerol every 4 hrs and elevating my leg. Doctors marked the swelling to keep track and it got up to my thigh before subsiding. I had to sign papers giving the doctors permission to amputate my leg if I was unconscious.
This was the most painful thing ive ever experienced. Havent been swimming since.
@@ExtraOrdinaryEarth_ yeah cottonmouth bites are nasty as hell, my friend got bit by one and he has permanent muscle damage from it, def don’t want to mess with those guys
oh yeah buddy. My uncle got bit by a copperhead when I was younger and he said it was one of the worst pains he had experienced.
I like your confidence considering nobody asked the fucking snake how much venom he deployed.

@Pokeety11 I highly recommend recording if you go out in nature. It's pretty nice outside. It might be fake, but even if It is, it wouldn't change too much. Something like that is easily treated.
No there is panic, it's being put into MOVEMENT

@@j_c_d_brarely fatal but it’s gonna fuck you up lol
@@j_c_d_byes, one of the few relatively venomous snakes prevalent in the US aside from cottonmouths and rattlesnakes. A lot less serious than many southeast Asian snakes, copperheads are almost never fatal, but this hiker still did the right thing by making sure the snake is removed and he is treated by professionals (hopefully they have anti venom on site).
If he freaked out it could actually have made the side effects of the bite worse for him too
As a ranger myself, this is exactly what I'm hoping doesn't happen when I come into work
The paperwork alone 😂
After dealing with your DAR, gotta submit an incident report. And I’m sure it has to be reported copperheads are back. Thank God government wasn’t shutdown. Buddy would’ve been SOL without the rangers.

Don’t they make snake bite proof pants or high boots? Maybe wear some of those?

Also I'm not sure if he had a choice or not but the way he stayed around the snake too to ensure the Rangers could contain it. 👏
Yes he's right you have to stay calm keep that BP down, the more you panic the faster your heart pumps the more the venom spreads.
And he also had a good sence of humour anout it all and was very polite. Great video.
This is the best example of stay calm and think through the problem.
Kept his heart rate as low as he could, and was able to get someone else to go for help. The other hiker probably did save his life.
Him keeping his heart rate low saved himself too
@teamlava6283 maybe but copperhead bites are rarely fatal, most of the time they dont even administer anti venom ( cause the shits 10k a vial) , they just treat the symptoms.

At least where I live, the national parks have numbers on their website and ranger numbers in front of major hiking trails with instructions on what to say to them in case of an emergency. So at least here you can call and say “hey I’m in this location of this trail and I need help.” That person could have gone to the trailhead and gotten info there and possibly better reception if that spot has bad reception.

For anyone wondering, copperheads are incredible at camouflaging with leaves, aren’t extraordinarily dangerous to adults, though they hurt and make you feel pretty sickly for a day or so, and in southern parts of the U.S. they’re pretty common. Common enough to bite dogs. Depending where and what size the dog is, it can be fatal, but for most a course of antibiotics and about a day of shivering and vomiting is the extent.
Stay vigilant, wear boots and jeans outside, and always remain calm. You have more time than you think to seek help. Get photos of the snake, identify it, and relay that to a medical professional if ever bit.
You forgot cease it's existence😂

As an Australian I completely agree
And being he was the camera guy, he lived !
You are supposed to wrap in with crepe bandage from the bite, firmly up the leg to stop the lymph system from pumping the poison through the body. Staying calm and not moving is wise. But you must act asap. And then be carried to the car. As little movement as possible.
Copperheads won't kill you
i mean if he wouldve got some right pair of shoes instead of them crocs he wouldnt have got bitten in the first place lol xd
Damn bro.. handled like the man!!
This happened in June 2021 at Marshy Point Nature Center in Baltimore County. In the original video, the bitten hiker follows up after going to the hospital and suggests it was likely a "dry bite" as his pain was relatively mild.
