We have a variety of different Rattlesnakes here in Arizona where I live but the most common is the Desert Diamond Back.They aree very active right now and occasionally a report of a person or a dog being bitten is heard.I just Thursday saw a 3' Diamond Back laying beside a gate in a fence I was opening,Dead.looked like an animal had chewed its head off,but, its dead presence signaled to me too stop,look and listen,In 11 years of living here I have yet to meet some one who has been bitten,why?Because people who frequent the Desert this time of year whether on horse back ,Quads or foot are mostly cognizant of the fact that they are in the Snakes territory all the time and are wary of being careless and getting bit.The tourists who descend on the state come mostly in the dormant season for the snakes ,so no bites to them.Reports of small snakes getting into peoples houses?last one around here was 2 years ago.Bit the womans toe,snake was a rattler about 12" long,the procedure she used ,tie a tournequet around the toe and call 911.It worked very well.Other parts of the body? Isolate the bite area,stay calm and immoble if possible .cry out for help via voice or cell phone or radio if available. I have not heard any medical advise that says to slash the bite and suck out the venom.Old wives tale? I don't know. For us here the rules of stop when you here a buzz, stay still and if possible locate the source,wait till the source goes away,works to avoid getting bit.911 is a good number to know on your cell.
