He Posted A Photo Of A Dead Rattlesnake Online. Here’s The Horrifying Reason Why.

In 2015, he immediately killed one when he found it hiding in his shed because he wasn’t prepared to take any chances with the critter.It’s very easy to accidentally step on them, and though their bites are rarely fatal, they can be very dangerous without antivenom and proper medical treatment.It can destroy tissue, stop blood from clotting, and in some cases, cause severe paralysis.

That’s why Fowler shared a photo of the dead snake, along with grisly examples of what its venom can do.You’ll want to prepare yourself for the graphic images below.
