Episode 201: Snake and Spider Bites in the Black Hills with Tamra Lemley, M.D., Kyle Lemley, M.D. and John Tronnes, M.D.

Summer in the Black Hills means sharing the trails with rattlesnakes, spiders and the occasional tick. Rapid City Hospital Pediatricians Tamra Lemley, M.D, and Kyle Lemley, M.D., break down snake bite basics, including why baby rattlesnakes can be more dangerous than adults and the hiking habits that actually prevent bites. John Tronnes, M.D., Family Medicine Physician at Lead-Deadwood Clinic then covers brown recluse and black widow bites and busts the old wives’ tales — no sucking out venom, no tourniquets — that could make a bite worse. A practical guide for anyone spending the summer outdoors with kids.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
