From Morrisville, Mo.: A family's camping trip took a painful turn when their young son was bitten by a snake. The boy's parents reported that he was fishing with his father when the incident occurred. He had asked to walk a bit farther before stepping on the snake, which then bit his ankle.

The boy's reaction was immediate, and he screamed in pain. His mother, who was in the camper at the time, heard her son's cries. The snake was identified as a full-grown copperhead.

The boy is now recovering at home. Further details about the incident are available from the source.
