In The Trenches Episode 25

In the latest installment of In the Trenches, host Cary Quashen shares a harrowing personal account of surviving a bite from a Southern Pacific rattlesnake. Describing a "rookie mistake" during a snake removal call 13 days prior, Cary recounts the excruciating pain, tingling lips, and tremors that immediately followed the strike. He provides a vivid description of his treatment at Henry Mayo Hospital, which included receiving 12 vials of antivenom and spending three days in the ICU to manage the combined effects of hemotoxins and neurotoxins.Supported by Action Drug Rehab, the mission is to help individuals find rediscovered purpose and move beyond the "shadow person" of addiction. As Cary often reminds his audience, "Be the person you want your child to grow up and be".
