There's something about booze and behavior.

Seventy to 80 percent of snakebites occur in males Hmmm. I wonder why... ;)

This has been the case as long as I’ve known about rattlesnakes — at least 30 years. So probably longer but I heard about it in the 80s. So many myths about rattlers, just like about bats.

Good evening.
The high correlation between alcohol use and hand injury implies that bites occur when the victim is behaving in an unsafe manner, not when he or she is attempting to evade the snake.
True, that's why I carry a cat everywhere I go in snake country.
I can't wait for the questions...

Because women (and a sizable percentage of men) are smart enough to leave the damn thing alone. I am not especially afraid of snakes, actually I think they’re pretty cool, but if I see one in the wild, I don’t mess with it. It seems to work out well.

I like snakes and aren’t afraid of them. Whatever the behavior, we all have about an hour to receive treatment. Behavior speculation doesn’t remedy the problem. Most people that fall down are drunk I would speculate.
To: decimon
Hmmmm, reminds me of an old joke about two guys in the desert.....the doctor say’s you gonna die.
