It’s the most Gen-Z snakebite ever documented.

A social media influencer in Florida was bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake while filming. He exclaimed “I’m cooked” before rushing to the hospital, where he is currently battling for his life.

David Humplett, 25, an up-and-coming wildlife influencer started filming right after he was bit in the leg by the highly poisonous bellycrawler on Dec 18 while he and some friends rummaged through some woods off a roadway on Shired Island, WCJB reported.

“Welp, I’m cooked,” he said, pulling up his jeans to show his freshly bleeding wound to the camera in a video recorded just after the life-threatening bite.

“What a meme dude!,” the Gen-Zer said as he turned the camera to show his smiling face.

“Let’s get the pictures of it first. I mean, we’re already screwed anyways,” the boy with venom coursing through his veins calmly said to his friends. 

“Cool snake. Big diamondback. GG,” he said, using slang for “good game.”

Humplett noted that the diamondback rattlesnake is “the worst snake you can be bit by in Florida” before shutting off the camera and rushing to the vehicle with his three friends — who are in stunned disbelief.

He was flown to UF Health Shands by medical helicopter, according to WCJB.

Another video shows Humplett in the throes of pain — describing how it felt like his leg felt like it was going to explode.

Doctors have given him 88 antivenom vials injected into his leg which remains purple and disfigured, he said.

The resilient adventurer remains in the ICU at UF Health Shands Hospital, where his wife works as a nurse.

“Internally, I’m panicking but externally, I’m reassuring him, ‘You’re going to be fine,’” Humplett’s wife Emma Rynear said, according to WCJB.

“My team here at work helped me run down to the emergency room to be right there as the helicopter landed.”

Despite the ordeal, the positive-minded Humplett does not hold any hard feelings toward his assailant.

“The snake is just doing what it does. It perceived me as a threat, and it was just trying to protect itself. I’m not mad at the snake, and I don’t want anyone else to be mad at the snake either,” he told the station.

Humplett boasts millions of followers on Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube.
