My son was bitten by a timber rattler in the Chemung section of Meredith in the spring of 2002. He was using a hose at a customer's house and did not see the rattler coiled up inside the hose, sunning himself. It struck him 3 times just above the ankle.

The doctor told him that if he was not a robust 200 pounder it might have killed him. He was stiff and nauseous for several days after.

Fish & Game tried to find the snake without success.
