Farmer Bites Snake to Death Fangs a lot, says cobra By Mary Papenfuss, Newser User Posted Aug 24, 2012 12:04 AM CDT 15 comments Comments Fangs a lot, says cobra. (Wikipedia) (Newser) – That's one gutsy farmer. A Nepalese man bitten by a cobra in his rice paddy turned the tables on the creature and repeatedly bit the snake. "A snake charmer told me that if a snake bites you, bite it until it is dead and nothing will happen to you," Mohammed Salmodin explained to the BBC. Salmodin has been released from a local hospital after treatment. The snake is dead. Don't try Salmodin's stunt at home. There are some 20,000 cobra bites in Nepal each year, resulting in close to 1,000 deaths My Take on This Story Report a story error Show results without voting | 7% Annoying 48% Hilarious 14% Intriguing 2% Depressing 13% Brilliant 16% Scary
