^^"Deaths secondary to snakebites are rare. With the proper use of antivenin, they are becoming rarer still. The national average has been less than 4 deaths per year for the last several years."^^

"That's 4 deaths per year out 12,000 envenomations in a population of 300,000,000. The number of people in the general public that have EVER been bitten by someone's escaped venomous snake is 0."

What is the number of bites from snakes who haven't escaped? 12,000 envenomations a year!!!? I thought the number was smaller than that actually...

I want ZERO chance bc my local hospitals DON'T HAVE ANTIVENIN!!!
