A 3-year-old girl in Santa Clarita, California, is bitten by a rattlesnake after the snake is found underneath an Amazon package outside her home. Multiple outlets report that the child goes outside to retrieve the delivery and is bitten by the snake that had been concealed in close proximity to the package. The incident occurs during an active period for rattlesnakes, according to reporting that frames the bite as part of heightened seasonal activity.
The girl receives medical treatment after the bite. Fox News reports she spends two days receiving antivenom as part of her care. Other outlets similarly describe the bite and that the snake is hidden under the package, but do not add further medical details beyond the treatment and the circumstances of the delivery retrieval.
The cases collectively describe where the incident happens, the child’s age, the presence of a rattlesnake concealed beneath a package, and the fact that she is treated in the aftermath, including antivenom treatment in at least one account.
