Singer Mike Posner is currently on a Walk Across America releasing a song in each state he crosses (he actually started his journey in Asbury Park, NJ!). While on his walk he was bitten by a rattle snake and air lifted to a nearby trauma center. He luckily received the anti-venom treatment in time but wasn’t able to walk for a few weeks. We dive in with Kevin Hewitt, M.D., Vice Chairman of Emergency Medicine for the Emergency & Trauma Center at Hackensack Meridian University Medical Center. He shares more about what to do when coming into contact with venomous snake bites and other various animal bites.
