LOCAL TEENAGER GETS BITTEN BY CORAL SNAKE

Coral snake antivenin was being brought in from Melbourne and Miami Tuesday night to aid a 15-year-old youth who was reported bitten in Vero Beach, a Vero Beach city official said Tuesday.

He was bitten Tuesday afternoon and was being treated at Indian River Medical Center, said Vero Beach Animal Control Officer Bruce Dangerfield. Further details weren’t available. Coral snake venom attacks the nervous system.

“Unlike rattlesnakes, coral snakes don’t strike,” said Dangerfield. “You have to pick one up” to get bitten. “Usually they just want to get away.”

To treat the youth, two vials of antivenin were rushed in from Holmes Regional Medical Center, Melbourne. Ten more vials were being brought in from the Miami Venom Bank.

Each year, coral snakes bite about 80 Americans, half of them in Florida.

In late March, a pet dog in Jensen Beach died after killing a venomous coral snake in the backyard of his owner, Sheri Kalina-Waite. The dog died after antivenin arrived to late. 




Ok here, if you live in Florida, one of the first things you learn is black on yellow (stripes) will kill a fellow and red on black (stripes) are a friend of Jack. I think there should have been more home trainin' here. You DON'T ever pick up coral snakes or king snakes that look like coral snakes at a glance. Jeesh!
 

WHAT WERE WE THINKING??? We should have named him Taz, instead of Porthos.... he is a 23 lb terror....

chew... pee... bark.... pee.... poop....chew.... bark... pee....peee... pee/ repeat ad infinitum

Did it look ok? (the whole thing, not your awesome pic LOL)
 
Well, you know what? I am a strong broad and can take care of myself. I will not let someone creep me out or make me feel the need to cancel my reservations. I go to the Fort to meet people and if there are people there that have found out when and where I am, so be it. I will deal with it as it comes. I am not saying throw caution and common sense to the wind, but we are free to meet when and where we want and by golly, I will. There, I said it.

And, for the record, the people who set up the grand gatherings have access to who is signed up...I certainly don't want to push anyone away, but if someone is creeping someone else out, I will certainly have a pm talk with them to correct things or I will fix them myself. I hope Gatordad feels the same way about his GG. We should never feel like we should have to compromise our plans for someone who makes us uncomfortable. That is not right.

I agree with you Jen. I have been going to Disney internet gatherings for over 10 years now, and have NEVER had a problem with my personal safety or the safety of my stuff at Disney or at home. The larger the gathering, the better. The original group I started with is unomoderated USENET, which is wide open to all kinds of anybody, and we've had some weird ones in there, but none of them have EVER gone to the trouble of actually showing up during a gathering and no one has ever reported being personally contacted.
 
It has been mentioned before, but most of us have become very open about things that we know we shouldn't be posting for the world to see. Colson made a comment a while back about not being so keen on actually meeting people, and getting involved while at FW. There is certainly reason to take pause.........

Yeah.... just ask Rog!!! NTSammy & I tried very hard to stalk him & his family, but, dang it!!! They were always at one of the parks! The noive of dem!!!:sad2:
