АНУ-ын Калифорни мужийн Санта-Кларита хотод Amazon компаниас хүргэсэн илгээмжийн дор нуугдсан хортой могой гурван настай охиныг хазсан хэрэг гарлаа.
Охин илгээмжийг авах гэж байх үедээ Өмнөд Номхон далайн бүсийн хортой могойд хазуулсан байна. Эцэг Мануэль Барахасын мэдээлснээр, охин эмнэлэгт хүргэгдэж, эрчимт эмчилгээний тасагт хоёр хоногийн турш хорны эсрэг эмчилгээ хийлгэжээ. Одоогоор охины биеийн байдал сайжирч, 70 орчим хувийн эдгэрэлттэй байгаа аж.
Калифорни мужийн эрх баригчдын мэдээлснээр, энэ онд тус мужид могойд хазуулсан тохиолдол эрс нэмэгдсэн байна. Одоогоор хортой могойтой холбоотой 77 дуудлага бүртгэгдсэний гурав нь амь насаа алдсан харамсалтай тохиолдол болжээ.
Үүнтэй төстэй хэрэг өнгөрсөн тавдугаар сард гарч, Айдахо мужаас ирсэн Крис Хоуарт гэгч эр могойд хазуулсны улмаас 54 тун хорны эсрэг эм тариа хийлгэн арайхийн амьд үлджээ. Хохирогч гэр бүлүүд эмчилгээний зардал болон ажилгүй байсан хугацааны орлогоо нөхөх зорилгоор олон нийтийн хандив цуглуулах платформыг ашиглаж байна.

A three-year-old California girl is recovering after being bitten by a rattlesnake hiding under an Amazon package left in her yard.
Manuel Barajas recalled the terrifying moment when his little girl, Addy, was bitten by the venomous snake at their home in Santa Clarita, near Los Angeles.
He said a gift for Addy, delivered by Amazon, was dropped over their gate into their yard, and, in the excitement, his daughter ran to pick up the package, according to a GoFundMe fundraising page for the family.
“Tragically, a southern Pacific rattlesnake was hiding under the brown padded envelope and bit Addy’s left hand,” Barajas said.
Addy’s mother, Lynn, rushed to get help from the fire department, and the little girl was then taken to a local hospital, where she received a dose of antivenom.
The little girl then had to be transferred to another hospital and spent two nights in the pediatric ICU, where she received two more doses of antivenom.
“She’s doing great now. She’s, I want to say, about 70 percent recovered,” Barajas told local outlet KTLA. “She’s still bruised on her left hand where she was bitten.
“Her spirits are high, her demeanor is great, but she keeps asking why she did she get bitten by a snake.”
Barajas was out of town for work when his daughter was bitten. He quickly flew home to be with his family and lost about a week of work.
The family has already received more than $5,000 on GoFundMe, which will be used to compensate for medical bills and the loss of income.
There’s been an uptick in rattlesnake bites in California this year, local outlets reported in May, citing state officials. At the time, there were at least 77 rattlesnake-related calls made to California’s Poison Control System, three of which were fatal.
Chris Howarth, a father of three from Idaho, was bitten by a rattlesnake in May while visiting family in California. He barely survived after receiving 54 doses of antivenom.
“I got bit twice, and one of the bites, where it was was kind of a shallow, but the other one got my vein,” Howarth told SFGATE in an article published earlier this month. “I went inside. My wife thought I was joking.”
A GoFundMe page was set up to help with Howarth’s medical expenses and the work he has missed, which has generated more than $21,000.
