LOS ANGELES (KNX) – If you are out on a hike, keep an eye out for rattlesnakes.
A study by the University of Colorado at Boulder found that rain produces more mice and rodents, leading to increased rattlesnake activity, KCAL reported.
Human-Wildlife Conflict Specialist Jessica West said while rattlesnakes typically don’t want anything to do with humans, don’t panic when you see one.”
“The first and best thing you should do is stop, turn around, and go a different direction,” she said.
West added that most people who are bit are the ones who try to handle the rattlesnakes. If you are bit, seek medical attention immediately.
