Copperheads are the least toxic of the venomous snakes in the U.S. There has never been a recorded death from a Copperhead bite anywhere in the world. If bitten by a Copperhead a trip to the hospital is not necessary because the venom is only designed to kill small mammals and frogs and is almost harmless to people. The venom has the same effects as bee, wasp, or hornet sting if even that. If there is a case where you are bitten just clean the bite with and anticeptic. A small amout of swelling may occour but shouldn't last over 12 hours.
