Of course not. No U.S. snake will attack or chase a person, despite Uncle Ned's childhood memories. It just doesn't happen. One reason given by some North Carolinians for opposing the law is that venomous snakes are dangerous. Of course they are.
Fangs are how they defend themselves, just as dogs have teeth.
But you must first be bitten. And the latest information available suggests that the majority of U.S. snakebites happen after someone picks up the snake. No snake is going to intentionally bite a person except as a last resort when it thinks it is cornered and cannot escape. Even rattlesnakes will retreat into a hole if given the opportunity. According to the information from state health records, only two people have died in North Carolina from snakebite since 1970.
