Don't get bitten by a snake

It will cost you a ton of money. For example,last summer a 9-year-old girl from Indiana was bitten by a copperhead. The cost to treat her was $142,938. Almost half the bill was for four vials of antivenin. That works out to $16,989.25 for each vial—more than five times the average list price of $3,198. The bill also included $55,577.64 for air-ambulance transportation. But she she was released within 24 hours of the bite.
