I think I would have done a thorough check of the ground around me before I 
did the squatting.  I've seen the damage a rattlesnake can do with his 
poison, on a person and on a horse.
Another thing to look for carefully is poison oak.  I've known people who 
have been very inconvenienced from squatting over poison oak.  Not I, thank 
goodness, as I am nearly immune to the stuff.  The only time I catch it is 
when I've cut the branches with a chainsaw and the oil has spattered on my 
face.  Even then, all it does is burn....form a black spot where the oil 
touched me....and it doesn't even itch.  I just leave it alone and let it 
heal.  Considering all of it I get into when building fences or clearing 
trail around here, I am very fortunate that I don't react to it more than I 
do.
