Rattle snakes DO NOT NEED TO warn you with their rattle before they strike!

What to do (and not do) if you encounter, are bitten by a rattlesnake
Here's what you should do if you encounter a rattlesnake:

If you see a snake, stay away ; they can only strike from a distance half their size.
Be mindful of where you step or reach with your hands.
If you think you hear one, stand still.
Just because a snake doesn't have a rattle, doesn't mean they're not rattlesnakes (babies don't have them and adult ones can break off).
If you are bitten by a rattlesnake:

Stay calm and seek medical attention.
Don't use a tourniquet, apply ice or try to suck the venom out.
