Your stats are almost identical for the State of Mississippi. 200 bites per year. Approximately 15 involve stepping on, sitting on, or otherwise accidently touching the snake. The other 185 got nailed by trying to kill or torment the snake ("Make him rattle, Bubba. Poke him again.".

How about alcohol? Stats range from 41% to over 60% of snakebite victims have been drinking at the time of the bite.

And we can't leave out tattos!

My favorite quote is from George Carlin: "My three greatest disapointments in life. My government. My religion. My species." (I've added, "My gender"

Cheers,
