Man Suffers Off Horrifying Rattlesnake Bite Injury: WATCH

A man learned the hard way that rattlesnakes aren't to be messed with.

There used to be a time at OutKick where most of our nature content came straight from a house of horrors.

Then, we took a nice OutKick Outdoors (bookmark the page and check it daily!) pivot during hunting season to showcase some great kills.

Well, we're sliding back into nightmare fuel today!

Man's rattlesnake bite goes viral.

YouTube user David Orin recently shared a video that might keep you out of nature for a long time. The issue?

He got bit by a rattlesnake, and it went just as well as you'd expect:

Absolutely awful.

At one point in the video, Orin is in the hospital with a black and blue leg that looks like it was broken and not simply bitten.

Check out the insane footage below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Yep, that's enough of the animal thunderdome for me today. I think we can all agree that his experience is more than enough to keep you out of any area where rattlesnakes might roam.

In fact, I was once walking through some tall grass/brush in Texas, and only after I was a solid 150 yards into it did it occur to me the thing was probably crawling with rattlesnakes.

I won't lie to our faithful OutKick readers. I started to get more than a bit nervous, and I was later told it was a very stupid thing to do.

This guy wasn't as lucky as I was. He actually ended up in the hospital after being bitten, and by the looks of things, it wasn't a fun ride.

Keep your head on a swivel when dealing with the animal thunderdome. You never know what is lurking out there. Let me know your thoughts on the situation at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
