A 4-year-old boy from Chattanooga is recovering after a copperhead snake bit him during a camping trip in North Carolina.
Jad Pollom was camping with his family in North Carolina over Memorial Day weekend at the Highlands, near the Georgia border.
Jad’s parents rushed him to a local emergency room in North Carolina where he was given 10 vials of antivenom treatment overnight and then transferred via Life Force to T.C Thompson Children’s Hospital in Chattanooga where his mom Stacey says he received treatment from “incredible health care professionals.”
Jad stayed in the hospital for 3 days, and he’s now home.
