Revenge comes in many forms

Last edited Thu Sep 4, 2014, 11:18 PM - Edit history (1)

A venomous snake head-HEAD, mind you- kills a chef:

"the chef had been preparing snake soup when he was bitten by the severed head of an Indochinese spitting cobra. The snake reportedly had been decapitated some 20 minutes before the bite occurred. The chef died before emergency workers could get to him,"

I recall my uncle telling me stories attending a rattlesnake round-up out West and the snake wranglers cutting off the head and very carefully putting them in sacks because of snake-head bites.

We have rattlers around here. The first thing we do is cut off the head and bury it. Saves other animals from being poisoned. Venom even from a non biting head can still be poisonous. It deteriorates after about 24 hours. Snakes can bite their own body during death throes and poison the meat, which is not good for other animals (or humans) who might want to partake of rattlesnake meat.
