Thanks Dustin...so basically you are saying that a rattlesnake, cottonmouth, or copperhead bite won't kill you as long as you get to a decent hospital within say 90 minutes?

I know the sooner the better, but I just didnt know what the cutoff danger point is as far as how soon you need to get to the hospital.

From Wills Point I'd probably head towards Baylor Dallas, Baylor Plano, or Mother Francis in Tyler, Texas.

CroFab: Pretty neat stuff
