Snake Bite Hospitalizes Ragland Man

  • {West Virginia}...Forty-two year old Neil Jackson of Ragland was taken to Charleston Area Medical Center Thursday. Jackson says he was getting dressed for work when he was bitten by a copperhead snake that attacked from a window sill. Jackson says he first thought he had been stung by a bee, but, when he saw the swelling and two spots of blood, he looked up and saw a copperhead about four feet long.
