Man dies after rattlesnake bite at Spearfish golf course

A 70-year-old man died Monday after suffering a rattlesnake bite at Elkhorn Ridge Golf Club near Spearfish.

Lawrence Walters, of Geneseo, Ill., was reportedly looking for a ball in tall grass when he was bitten.




Lawrence County Coroner Marty Goetsch said the officially listed probable cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia secondary to the snake bite — in other words, a heart attack brought on by the reaction of Walters' body to the bite. Goetsch said Walters also had other medical problems.

“Each individual person is going to respond differently to a snakebite,” Goetsch said. “Some people it may not affect too much, and for some people it can obviously be fatal.”

Snake venom doesn’t normally affect you this fast. You wonder if he had an anaphylactic reaction to it, or more likely a lethal cardiac arrhythmia brought on by the sudden fear and excitement of the snakebite.?. Poor guy.....

a few few years ago a Montana dog trial was called off after the first couple of dogs got hit by rattlers. Prairie rattlers, not usually that bad either. Both dogs dies despite pretty immediate veterinary care. Must have got a full load of venom.
