One village, one family, two snake attacks.

Less than one month apart a single family has been unlucky enough to have two members bitten by a Rattle Snake and a Labaria respectively. The four year old daughter had to be evacuated in late December while her father encountered the latter snake shortly after the holidays.

Here he is pictured being assisted onto the waiting RAM aircraft. One can only imagine what the local spiritual leaders will make of this one.

The good news is that both now have been treated at Georgetown medical facilities and today they will be reunited in their home village. Due to an obstetric emergency this morning at the same location, the father has joined the flight in with the organization's air ambulance.
