A teenager from California didn’t know while searching for cell phone signal outside her uncle’s house that she will be bitten by rattlesnakes.

In an attempt to get cell phone signal to make a call to her mother in a rural area outside San Diego, a teenage girl stepped into rattlesnake’s nest and was bitten.

Vera Oliphant is 16 and she had to spend about four days at the intensive care unit of Sharp Grossmont Hospital and the doctors had to administer about 24 vials of antivenom after she landed up in the hospital after being bitten by an adult rattlesnake and five young rattlers outside her uncle's home.

Vera said, “I was trying to find a signal to call my mom and text my boyfriend.”

She was discharged from the hospital on Friday and alright now.

She added, “I didn't see them until I already stepped on their nest and I felt them biting me.”

After being bitten by the snakes she came back to Jamul to her uncles’ place and he immediately packed her into the car and rushed her to the emergency room, she said.

She wanted to tell her mom and her boyfriend that she really loved them in case she was unable to survive.

For combating the toxins, the doctors gave 24 vials of antivenom, a hospital spokesman said.
