One day when I was on a late spring turkey hunt in northen Michigan I got bit by a northen rattle snake , they look like a diamond back but they'er not poisonous.
Good thing I was wearing my rubber boots , the snake bit me in the mid cafe just above my ankle it didn't get into my skin.
Scared the crap right outta of me as I was stomping on it , ended up killing the thing.
That was a Massasauga rattlesnake, the only venomous snake in Michigan. They're small, not very venomous, and often don't inject venom when they bite.
They're also protected so next time you see one, don't kill it.
I know a guy who squatted down to take a dump, got bit by one. No venom, no reaction.
