It's the time of the season: Rattlesnake bites man in WalMart garden center

A man who said he was reaching down to pick up a stick lying in the gardening aisle of a Walmart store was shocked to discover that it was actually a rattlesnake, which promptly bit him.

Mica Craig says he was shopping in the outdoor garden department of the Lewiston, Idaho, store when he was bitten on Saturday.

The 47-year-old said the reptile dug its fangs into his hand and that he screamed, shook the snake loose and stomped it to death.

Mr Craig said that he had spoken to officials at the Walmart store, and claimed they told him the snake that bit him was not the first they had discovered.

When reached by the [Lewiston] Tribune, a manager at the store would not confirm or deny that the episode took place.

As usual after reading one of these things, tomorrow I have to go to WM and buy shaving cream - just an aisle away from the garden center! I'm not looking forward to seeing a copperhead coiled around a can of Barbasol. (Faints at the thought.)
