A man was rushed to hospital after a snake bit his penis while he was sitting on a toilet,
paramedics in Israel have revealed.
The 35-year-old told emergency workers he was relieving himself in the bathroom when he felt a strong burning sensation in his genitals.
He looked down to see a small snake in the toilet basin
The victim was taken to the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa where he was treated for minor injuries.
Fortunately, the snake was not venomous and the man was able to laugh at his misfortune with workers.
“This is the first time I’ve seen a snake bite like this,” the paramedic told the Jewish News.
“Luckily, all tests seem fine and the man is feeling well.”
“There will undoubtedly be bite marks on the area in question,” the hospital added.
“The snake was not poisonous. The man is currently under observation pending additional test results and as soon as we get the results, he will be able to go home.”
The man had a lucky escape as many deadly species of snake are commonly found in Israel.
Among the most dangerous are the black snake or desert cobra, the horned desert viper, the saw-scaled viper, the false horned viper and the Palestinian viper – the most common poisonous snake in Israel.
That is what I call a close shave. Hmm!!
