I'll have a snakebite, barman

I was worried that tales of swally gone wrong might be difficult to find. No fear.

In California a man, who was alleged to have been drinking, picked up a snake and was not that supringly bitten. He managed to call out the emergency servies who took him to the hospital. On the way there a description was given of his condition:
"...he became visibly ill and nauseated and could be seen shaking, gagging, shedding tears and kissing a cross hanging from his neck."

Symptoms millions waking up on post-swally Sundays can identify with.

The bitten man was still alive when this report was filed, unlike the snake who fell victim to a policeman's knife.
