A California hospital ran out of antivenom after a man, who would eventually require 54 doses across two separate facilities, was bitten by a rattlesnake.
Idaho-based Chris Howarth was checking the waterline at his parents’ home in Oroville, Northern California, when he was attacked by the reptile. The snake bit him twice, he told SFGATE, with one bite reaching a vein during the May 26 attack.
