Deadly Oz snake bites tourist's todger

[edesignuk]

A tourist enjoying Australia's Queensland had a close brush with death when a deadly brown snake attacked his todger as he took a roadside toilet break, the The Cairns Post reports.

The unnamed victim was last month around 300km northwest of Cairns when he crouched down to relieve himself, at which point the venomous reptile "slithered between his legs and lunged at his manhood".

While the assailant "beat a hasty retreat", the victim was left with a scratch on his wedding tackle and suffering from vomiting and abdominal pains. Cue the swift intervention of the emergency services, who wrapped the wound in plastic "in case poison had penetrated the skin".

Luckily, subsequent tests showed the animal didn't "envenomate" the shaken survivor, and the poor chap had only to spend a night recovering in hospital.

An ambulance spokesman described the man as "lucky", as well as "shocked and embarrassed". ®

The Register.

That's some scary s***!

Maybe the snake thought he was kissing another snake.

Yay! I've learned some new metaphors.

I think the lesson here is to always look around before you expose yourself in the bush....

I think this sums it up:

'As it came through it must have got a bit of a shock,' the spokesman added, with masterful understatement.

All I can think of is how much I would scream in agony if this happened to me.

Or to a bush.

Can't be too careful these days.
