A 78-year-old Arizona woman has issued a warning to other hikers after she was bitten by a rattlesnake. Martha Troy, a Scottsdale resident, says she has been hiking in Arizona for 25 years and finally got unlucky.
According to Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix where Troy was treated, she was hiking with her daughter and granddaughter at the Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area in Cave Creek on Saturday when the incident occurred. She was reportedly on her way back to the trailhead when she heard the warning rattle and was immediately bitten on the ankle before she had the chance to react.
