As if mice, rats and possums weren't enough . . .

A toddler was bitten by a rattlesnake Saturday at a swimming pool at Roaring River State Park near Cassville, Missouri.
Two-year-old Miller Reid was exiting the swimming pool when he was bitten by a pygmy rattle snake, which was under the lip of the pool.
The pool was evacuated and Miller was taken to a Joplin hospital the air lifted to a Kansas City hospital.
A spokesperson for the Department of Natural Resources says this was an unusual and isolated incident.
