Drunk man bites off snake head as revenge for earlier snake bite

Date:

 A heavily inebriated man bit a snake at his farm and killed the reptile. Doctors who treated the man said the snake was a venomous one and he was lucky to have survived.

The bizarre incident happened on Saturday a village in  West Pokot.

The man’s father said that his son was too drunk when he bit the reptile.

“My son was drunk. A snake entered our home and bit him. He later bit the snake into pieces. His condition was serious when we took him for treatment.”

A doctor at a hospital nearby told sonkonews.com that the man was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state. He was discharged on Saturday after treatment.

Villagers nad eyewitnesses say the man saw a black-colored snake at his farm and, in his stupor, bit the snake. It died a little while later.

And according to the doctor who attended to him, the man might have panicked and lost consciousness after he realised that he had bitten a snake.

“It was venomous and if it had retaliated or if any portion of its venom had entered his bloodstream, it could have been fatal for him,”  said the doctor.
