Oklahoma Poison Center Urges Caution During Snake Season

As temperatures rise across Oklahoma, so does snake activity – and with it, the risk of potentially dangerous snake bites.

The Oklahoma Poison Center is reminding residents to stay alert and know what to do if they encounter a snake.

Each year, the Oklahoma Poison Center plays a critical role in helping Oklahomans safely manage snake bites. In 2025 alone, the Oklahoma Poison Center assisted in the management of 311 snake bite cases statewide.
