Man Bitten by Eastern Rattlesnake

Herpetologist George Van Horn was bitten by an Eastern rattlesnake while extracting its venom during the daily "milking" show at Reptile World Serpentarium in St. Cloud, Fl, on Jan. 13, 2010. George was taken to a St. Cloud hospital for treatment of the bite. We heard later from the people at the Serpentarium that Mr. Van Horn is going to be okay. The Serpentarium is a major facility for collecting material for anti-venom treatment.
