Did You Think It Wouldn't Bite? [NSFW]

Hello.

Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't fix stupid!

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Virginia emergency crews rush to save a man after he was bitten by an African pit viper, one of the most lethal snakes in the world.

A bite from that snake contains a venom strong enough to kill ten people. A dry bite is dangerous as well. The dry bite can bring a bacterial infection which could be instant death.

The pit viper bite leads to an instant necrosis of the wound site. It will lead to increase heart rate, chills and rapid fever. It also can be within an hour without treatment, death.

Decapitating a snake doesn't mean its dead. The head can still strike and inject a lethal dose of venom into its victim. The snake's head can survive up to a day or two without a body. The head is always active and ready to strike.

The bites are rare because it's often trying to avoid confrontation. I uses it to strike at small animals. I am only assuming this idiot was not properly handling this animal with extreme caution.

State police told WRIC the victim was initially taken to VCU Medical Center on Saturday night after his African Pit Viper bit him.

The African Pit Viper, also known as Gaboon viper, is one of the world’s largest and heaviest vipers. The African Pit Viper boasts the longest fangs of any venomous snake, and the highest venom yield of all venomous snakes, according to the Los Angeles Zoo. While the vipers are known to be largely docile, their bites are often fatal.

The victim, who is from Richmond, was initially given an anti-venom treatment from the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, D.C., but WRIC reported that more anti-venom was needed to save his life. Virginia State Police were brought in to get more anti-venom to the hospital from the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center in Virginia Beach, which was providing 35 more doses of anti-venom.

While the anti-venom was successfully delivered, the victim’s condition has not been released.

Again, why do white people always treat wild animals like they're domesticated? 

I would never touch a wild animal. 

Alas, some people think that animals are timid when you're petting them. Nope.

The hospital and the Smithsonian will bill him for the animal attack. The city of Richmond, Virginia will probably cite him for harboring a dangerous animal.

The idiot will be getting threats from animal rights extremists. 

It's the unfortunate cause and effect of animals and people.

I've said it before and I stand by what I say: "Wild animals are......well you know!"
