## Resource

An Idaho man, Chris Howarth, was bitten twice by a rattlesnake in Northern California’s backyard after a rainstorm—once shallow, once deep into a vein. His wife initially thought he was joking, but after receiving over 50 doses of antivenom, his condition worsened: swelling, breathing trouble, and a dangerous blood clotting disorder. While heatwaves have spurred rattlesnake activity in Southern California, Chris’s case highlights how wet weather and muffled rattlesnake warnings can catch people off guard. Now recovering at home, he’s unable to work, and his family’s GoFundMe is asking for support to cover medical bills and lost income. His story is a chilling reminder to stay vigilant around nature—and a testament to resilience in the face of unexpected danger.
