Quote:
Photographer Mark Laita has a mention in Wikipedia for a wild and unusual reason: he was bitten by a black mamba (one of the world's deadliest snakes), survived, and found that he had accidentally captured the bite on camera.
Quote:
Dozens of photos later, the snake's owner extended a hook to collect the snake, but that's when disaster struck. Instead of hooking the snake cleanly, the owner accidentally snagged a red cable that was part of Laita's camera setup. Startled, the black mamba lashed out and sank its fangs into Laita's calf.
Quote:
After several minutes and then hours passed and Laita was still feeling fine experts recommend heading straight for a hospital, by the way the crew concluded that Laita didn't have any venom in his system. The photographer believes that it was either a "dry bite," when a snake doesn't release any venom, or that his heavy flow of blood pushed out the venom.
nope nope nope
