Ever wonder what a copperhead snake bite will do? This patient was bit on his finger 4 days prior. The venom causes local tissue destruction and a secondary infection can set in. Copperhead snake bites are usually not fatal but, as you can see, the damage can be extensive.

Owwww....did he wait four days to get treatment...? Hope not!
Gah!!!
OMG. That is a really scary photo. I wonder if rattlesnake bites do the same thing. We live in the Southwest and there are many rattlers here.
Rattlesnake bites are often times much worse. Copperheads are not a joke and should be taken seriously. Take care..Be carefull
