These are venomous snakes but not fetal
Death is not possible may occur if 20of them will bite you at the same time!! Also don't worry The available antivenum CroFab for copperhead bite is more poisoning then ye one you had.
After 2 weeks there is no need to worry, you can use Luke warm water not too cold or too hot.
Pain will be mostly psychological and redness of inflammation will also disappear soon
Please provide your feed back
