Random iPhone App of the week: Too bad the
friend in the Adobe ad didn't have the free
SnakeBite911 on his phone. The
app offers snakebite safety tips and
treatment support, as well as characteristics, habitats and pictures to help users identify North American pit vipers, a group that includes rattlesnakes, copperheads and cottonmouths. Additional
features of SnakeBite911 include a Snake Sightings Map to view and share snake sightings in your area and a Hospital Locator tool to locate the nearest hospital equipped to treat venomous snakebites.
This feature works even without a cell signal by using your most recent tracked location. The app's emergency support features include a time-stamped Venom Tracker, which uses the device's built-in
camera to capture photos of the bite area at regular intervals.
