Arizona Toddler’s Foot Turns Black After Snakebite; Doctors Administer Life-Saving Antivenom

A 15-month-old Arizona girl, Cara, was bitten twice by a diamondback rattlesnake and has not smiled since. She received 30 vials of antivenom and may need more, as her family fears long-term damage.

Cara was bitten while walking near her home. Her mother, Jacquelyn Reed, rushed her to a local ER, but antivenom was delayed over an hour. Cara’s foot began to turn black, and she was eventually airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
