I was told by a local nurse that the average cost to treat a Mojave Green snake
bite is between $60,000.00 and $70,000.00. I asked why so expensive? She
claimed that illegal aliens, working mostly out-of-doors with no insurance are
mainly to blame. None have insurance and the anti-venom is difficult to keep on
hand. She claimed that many U.S. citizens with insurance have died because they
could not get access to it in time, partly because it was used on somebody else
without insurance. This in part is why the treatment is so expensive. Only a
few are able to afford it. You better make sure your health insurance covers
such things.

Be Careful and Happy Hunting,

Adam
