Richard Omoniyi-Shoyoola on 20 Jun 12Each year, approximately 8,000 Americans are bitten by venomous snakes. On average, 800 or so bites occur annually in California, home to an abundance of snake species, but only one family is native with highly toxic venom: rattlesnakes. In San Diego County, the number of rattlesnake bites is increasing as well as the toxicity of the attack.
