Death from snake bites rare in the United States
The Biological Survey of the USDA notes mortality from venomous snake bites averages about 10 percent of bites but overall deaths are rare due to limited encounters. Snakes inhabit remote areas, strike mainly when provoked, and spring is best for control by humans. Hog freedom in infested lands may help reduce snakes. Common types include Harlequin snakes and pit vipers such as rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and copperheads.
