Ep. 32: Beware The Rattle

Our patrons voted: Rattlesnakes!

This week we're covering the tragic loss of 6-year old Simon Currat, who was bitten and died from a Rattlesnake bite in Colorado on July 5th. You can find the fundraiser for Simon's family here.

We also discuss the Jolo Serpent Handlers, an extreme fundamentalist group that follows the Bible extremely literally, specifically a passage in the Book of Mark that says true believers "shall take up serpents", among other things. You can find the documentary mentioned in episode here.

For more information on how to stay safe around Rattlesnakes and what to do if you're bitten, check out this PDF by the U.S. Forest Service.
