Preparedness Moment: Snake Bite what we don't know can kill

JUST BECAUSE A PARTICULAR SNAKE IS NOT COMMON TO YOUR AREA DOES NOT MEAN IT IS NOT THERE

IT’S A GOOD IDEA TO CLEAN YOUR BASEMENTS, GARAGES, BARNS ETC. COMPLETELY

SO BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT PLAY WITH OR PROVOKE A SNAKE.

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN!

KEEP TETANUS SHOTS UP TO DATE
BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS WHEN TRAVELING TO OTHER AREAS< OR OTHER COUNTRIES

REMEMBER THAT SNAKES ARE ALSO EFFECTED BY DISASTERS

use heavy leather snake bite preventative that goes up to knees or better yet, wear chaps, during disasters as snakes and other creatures may also be effected and may be traumatized, more apt to strike, be out of their element, and so on.http://www.benmeadows.com/snake-protection/snakeproof-chaps-36808007/?cid=RX0300&ef_id=U-UX7QAAAXEo8hD3:20140821190925:s
