Piringer didn't give immediate details on this specific incident, but provided tips on what to do if bitten.

"If snake bitten, immobilize bitten area and keep it lower than the heart. Get medical help. Do not attempt to drive yourself," Piringer tweeted. "Most of all, stay calm (to keep from pumping the poison around your system). Main thing is to get to a hospital."

The Maryland Poison Control Center says the Northern Copperhead and the Timber Rattlesnake are two venomous snakes native to Maryland.
