Had a friend take a bite from one of those rascals when he was in his garden hoeing last summer. Critter was laying under the melon leaves,he did not see it and he got tagged with short pants on so was direct hit on leg calf. He recognized what had happened by the bite marks and wife headed him to hospital. The bite swelled up to baseball size on his calf very quickly after the incident. The hospital had to call for antivenom to a big city hospital and have it flown in since he went to a rural hospital and they didnt have it.Guy was down for 4-6 days for recovery and taking med treatment but had a full recovery and wound return to normal after 30-40 days taking easy.They say recovery depends on how much venom got in the wound,the age and size of the snake and how young you are,your immune system strength and how healthy you are as well as your physical size and how quick you get med attention.Think might have read nowdays 15-20% of copperhead bites can be fatal.Might say this guy was lucky he had his wife around give some first aid and to drive him to hospital immediately. This was in sc IN. In pioneer times think many or most of these bites were fatal.
