A 3-year-old named Addy Barajas, who lives in rural California, nearly lost her life after an Amazon package was dropped over the gate into her family’s yard. Addy’s mother, Lynn, had gotten her excited about the contents of the package, so when the toddler spotted it, she ran over to retrieve it. Unbeknownst to her, however, a Southern Pacific rattlesnake was coiled beneath the envelope. The snake then bit Addy on her left hand.
According to the New York Post, Addy is now fighting for her life. Reportedly, Lynn immediately called 911, but because the family lives in Santa Clarita, she was instructed to drive to a nearby grocery store parking lot to meet firefighters and paramedics so Addy could receive professional medical assistance as quickly as possible.
