A Southern California family<\/a> is urging people to stay alert after their 3-year-old daughter was bitten by a rattlesnake hiding beneath an Amazon package outside their home, the latest in a string of snakebite incidents during an unusually active season across the state.<\/p>\n

The frightening encounter comes weeks after a hiker was airlifted from a remote Ventura County trail following a rattlesnake bite.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Ventura County firefighters told Fox News Digital they had responded to seven rattlesnake bites in roughly a month, with officials attributing the increase to warmer weather that has driven snakes out earlier than usual.<\/p>\n

Manuel Barajas said his daughter, Addy, ran outside after her mother told her an Amazon package had been delivered and tossed over the family’s front gate. As the 3-year-old reached for the padded envelope, a Southern Pacific rattlesnake concealed beneath it bit her on the left hand.<\/p>\n

Her mother rushed Addy toward a nearby grocery store parking lot, where paramedics met the family before transporting her to a local hospital. She was later transferred to a pediatric intensive care<\/a> unit, where she spent two days receiving additional doses of antivenom.<\/p>\n

Wildlife experts say an unusually warm spring has fueled increased rattlesnake activity across California this year, contributing to a rise in snakebite incidents and three<\/a> reported snakebite deaths statewide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The latest incident follows several other serious encounters this year. In May, a woman hiking in Ventura County<\/a> was airlifted to a hospital after suffering a rattlesnake bite on a remote trail. A Thousand Oaks woman also died in March after being bitten while hiking at Wildwood Regional Park.<\/p>\n

Health officials say anyone bitten by a rattlesnake should seek emergency medical care immediately, remain as still as possible and avoid attempting home remedies that can worsen the injury.<\/p>\n

Barajas told Nexstar’s KTLA he hopes sharing his family’s experience will encourage others to stay vigilant around their homes and know which hospitals are equipped to treat pediatric snakebite emergencies.<\/p>\n

“She\u2019s doing great now. She\u2019s, I want to say, about 70% recovered,” Barajas said. “She\u2019s still bruised on her left hand where she was bitten. Her spirits are high, her demeanor is great, but she keeps asking why she was bitten by a snake.”<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help the family cover Addy’s medical expenses and lost income while she continues to recover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
