Did a 'rattle head' snake bite a child in the summer of 2021?
Not only is a social media post's reference to a "rattle head" snake wrong (rattlesnake, perhaps?) but a photo accompanying the post is at least 2 years old, and it is from an incident in which a toddler was bitten by a copperhead snake -- in 2019. The child was treated with anti-venom medication at a hospital.
The photo was part of news coverage of a snakebite case in South Carolina involving a 2-year-old. The child was bitten in the yard of the family home, taken to a hospital and treated.
The social media post asks readers to "please pray for his full recovery." In fact, there is no evidence or indication that the child bitten two years ago did not fully recover. One news story about the incident says only that the child "spent a few days at a hospital in Charleston."
