A northern California beekeeper tending his hives gets a rattlesnake bite. He and the rattlesnake end up in the hospital.

He graciously allowed images of his wound, the snake and the evidence of his progressing envenomation to be posted here. See how the wound and the growing red streaks that accompany a real rattlesnake bite look in the first few hours after a bite.
