A 15-month-old boy from Sarnia, Ont., is recovering at home after being bitten by a rattlesnake at a family cottage on the Thanksgiving long weekend, requiring treatment at two hospitals and 18 doses of antivenom. Wells Gladwish was bitten on the thumb around 12:45 p.m. on Sunday while spending the afternoon with family at their cottage in Cape Chin North, on the Bruce Peninsula. His father, Matt Huggett, said the toddler was walking near a family bonfire when he came upon a snake and tried to pick it up. The snake bit Wells on the thumb, which began to turn white within about five minutes. "We knew right away we were in a pretty bad situation," Huggett said. "The nearest hospital was Lion's Head, and we did everything we could to get him there as fast as possible. "Staff at Lion's Head Hospital needed multiple attempts to start an IV in the active toddler. After a test dose to check for a potentially severe allergic reaction, the team administered 10 vials of antivenom. The hospital had 14 vials in total.
