ALERT: Woman runs for her life after she was bitten by a rattlesnake while trimming rose bushes in her California front yard.

Linda Martin was at her home near Santa Clarita, tending to her rose bushes barefoot, when she felt something bite her foot.

She lifted up the bush to find a rattlesnake hiding under it and was bitten without the snake even making a noise.

As she frantically dialed 911, she had no cell service, and after the 3rd attempt, her husband said: “Get in the car.”

“Had my husband not been home, and I was here alone, I don’t know what would have happened.”

California Poison Control System director Lee Cantrell says the state is outpacing last year's rattlesnake attacks by 20%.

“Last year, we had a little over 400 calls about rattlesnake bites… And so far, in the first six months of 2026, we’ve had 250 calls.”
