they say grown people can survive the bite without treatment. just today i was watching a video of a man who had been bitten showing the progress of the venom moving and his recovery without treatment over days of time. the swelling and symtoms reduced within the 3rd day. that is the least leathal venom from any snake in america.

Copperheads are venomous snakes found throughout the eastern united states and parts of Mexico. There are five subspecies of copperheads - the Northern Copperhead, whose range stretches from Texas to Massachusetts. The Southern Copperhead, ranging from Texas to Florida. The Osage Copperhead who ranges from Northern Texas through the central united states. The Broad Banded Copperhead which is pretty much the same, and the Trans Pecos Copperhead - which is found from Chihuahua Mexico to Southern Texas. Most copperheads prefer rocky hillsides as habitats or near water.The venom of a copperhead is very weak and can not kill a child 75 pounds or over. The elderly can also die but rarely from copperhead bites. However, their bite is very painful. Copperheads are beautiful snakes.Snakes with bronze colored designs on their body and heads. They are a member of the Rattle Snake family. So, you may have a warning before they strike, but there is no guarantee of that.
Yep and they can cause death in humans. They say that a copperhead bite will normally not kill a healthy human being but it can cause death if the amount injected is lethal. At any rate it is a very painful bite.

The only way it can - with a highly-venomous bite !
