Abstract

Massasauga rattlesnakes are the only poisonous snakes in Ontario. While death from bites of this species is rare, the bite could cause a coagulopathy. I report a case of rattlesnake bite in a patient with asthma, horse allergy, and a documented congenital clotting abnormality.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
