A child was taken to a hospital after being bitten by a rattlesnake on a hiking trail in the East Bay Wednesday afternoon.
A park ranger at Mt. Diablo State Park told NBC Bay Area that the 7-year-old boy was walking through grass when he felt the bite on his lower leg. His mom carried him back to the parking lot.Get a weekly recap of the latest San Francisco Bay Area housing news.In the meantime, the rangers had to stabilize the young child and try to keep the venom from spreading throughout his body.
“The best thing was that he was with him mom and she was able to keep him calm. She's familiar with them. So having family there is definitely the most important thing for younger snake bite victims,” said ranger supervisor Cameron Morrison. Morrison added that he was not been able to talk with the boy's parents Wednesday night. But he said because the hospital is close and treatments are good, the child should be OK.
