meh. at least they try to give you a warning. rattlesnakes > other poisonous snakes.
I got bit by a copperhead once. **** sucked, I was in the hospital for like 4 days while they were running all types of tests on me and trying to draw the venom out. I now hate snakes with a passion.
Isn't killing rattlesnakes illegal or is that just in Ontario? Whenever we get them on the island at my cottage we just trap them and then we just toss them in a bucket and drop them off at another island. That may or may not be more manly than being bit by one, but idk.

i don't doubt it. i was doing landscaping in maryland for a summer and there was a day we were just clearing out old stumps and underbrush and whatnot. spent the whole time sure that the next pile of leaves was going to bite me.

Urban legend that all rattlers rattle before striking -- stats show only about 1/3rd of them rattle.
Nothing macho about amputating your extremities after getting bit by a pit viper. Water moccasins are worse, they don't retract when they strike & tend to chew on you, injecting more venom. Nasty m*therf*ckers......
I have actually slit my eyelid down the middle once. It was flopping around and I had to get stitches on it. Now I have a pretty cool scar that makes me look like mafia or something.
When I was young, I almost ripped my eyelid off on a clotheshanger, It was only dangling by the littlest bit. Luckily I still have it, and even more luckily, I didn't damage my eye at all. But I hooked myself high enough on my eyelid that my scar isn't even able to be sen when my eyes are open.

Between your eye, and your thumb, I'm beginning to think you are an extremely accident prone individual.
