$153,000 bill for medical care after rattlesnake bite

[CZroe]

That price really doesn't surprise me, my wife used to work for a local hospital around here as a pharmacist, she told me that the antivenom was extremely expensive and that they didn't carry it and it had to be flown in if someone was bitten.

She said it is also why when you are bitten your supposed to bring in the dead snake to make sure they aren't flying in/injecting you with the wrong stuff.

This. I heard that they have to kill horses to make it. Horses ain't cheap.
