What's the Avg. price for treatment from a bee sting and a rattlesnake?That's a Great question.
For the Bee, Wasp, or Hornet Sting = $1,050 if hospitalized.
For the rattlesnake bite, you better have
GOOD insurance.
There’s only one commercially available antivenin for “treating venomous snakebites in the United States – CroFeb, manufactured by U.K.-based BTG plc,” according to The Washington Post. There are no other competitors in the market, and because of that, in 2014, BTG closed out around $100 million. For one hospital vial, the price is around $2,300. A typical treatment dose? That requires four to six vials. So for a single rattlesnake bite that would need four vials of antivenin, the cost is $9,200.
And that's just for the venom.
Which one hurts more? The bite or the $$$ ?
