Rattlesnakes Spotted 'Combat Dancing' on Southern California Street
The 22-year-old was hospitalized for three days and received 34 doses of antivenom after the bite, doctors said.
- On July 18, Jake Entrup, 22, suffered a rattlesnake bite while trail running in Claremont's Wilderness Park, requiring 34 doses of antivenom and three days in intensive care.
- Entrup's case reflects a notably active stretch for rattlesnakes across Southern California, with experts attributing increased sightings to rising temperatures and a recent "combat dance" observed between two snakes in Thousand Oaks.
- Doctors at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center administered 20 doses of antivenom to Entrup, who transferred to Los Angeles General Medical Center for 14 additional doses before discharge.
- Lee Cantrell with the California Poison Control System explained that "if we give enough antivenom, it will neutralize the circulating venom, and people tend to do pretty well" during recovery.
- California officials reported nearly 250 rattlesnake bite calls and three deaths during the year's first six months, while Authorities advise hikers to stay alert, keep dogs close, and avoid reaching into unseen areas.
