Man bitten by Walmart rattlesnake


www.news.com.au
A POSIONOUS rattlesnake hidden among leafy plants in the garden section of a Walmart store in Florida sprang out and bit a man who was shopping there.

The man was taken to hospital after the 30cm pygmy rattlesnake bit him in the right hand while he was looking at the plants at the store in Pembroke Pines, Florida, about 50km north of Miami.

That sucks for that poor fellow. We have tons of rattlesnakes down here and they can be nasty, especially if you don't hear their warning. I don't know how accountable Walmart is since it was the garden section (might be outdoors), but knowing the way these companies work they'll probably shell out a few million to settle and keep it quiet.
