\"Rattlesnake<\/p>\n

A deadly pattern is beginning to emerge on Southern California trails.<\/p>\n

In just a matter of weeks, multiple rattlesnake encounters have turned dangerous, and two people have died after being bitten.<\/p>\n

Others have narrowly survived their own harrowing encounters. The incidents are raising new concerns about an uptick in dangerous encounters with venomous snakes.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to a report<\/a> from People magazine, a 46-year-old woman died after a bite earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Gabriela Bautista was hiking at Wildwood Regional Park in Ventura County on March 14.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to KTLA, she was bitten just before noon and was airlifted to a hospital, but died five days later, on March 19.<\/p>\n

Officials said the cause was rattlesnake venom toxicity.<\/p>\n

Her death came as another bite was reported nearby.<\/p>\n

A teenage girl was bitten near the Wendy Drive Trailhead in Thousand Oaks, California, on March 20.<\/p>\n

First responders reached her on the trail and transported her to a hospital. She survived with minor injuries.<\/p>\n

The cluster of incidents does not stop there.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, 18-year-old Julian Hernandez was bitten while mountain biking at the Quail Hill Trailhead in Orange County.<\/p>\n

According<\/a> to KNBC, he attempted to ride to safety. He later fell into a coma and died on March 4.<\/p>\n

In total, Ventura County firefighters have responded to four rattlesnake bites since March 14 alone. The county recorded only nine total bites last year. Experts said the danger is real, but preventable.<\/p>\n

The University of California noted<\/a>\u00a0that rattlesnakes are the only venomous snakes native to the state.<\/p>\n

They are typically identified by triangular heads, spotted bodies, and a distinctive rattle.<\/p>\n

Despite the alarming headlines, experts stress that panic is not the answer.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jeffrey Suchard, an emergency medicine physician and medical toxicologist, advised finding a hospital immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no intervention at the scene of a venomous snakebite that is recommended,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Suchard warned against common myths, such as cutting open the wound and trying to suck out venom.<\/p>\n

Bite victims are told to remain calm and seek medical care as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
