Transcript: With a picture of a snake in the background, post reads: The chances of a human being bitten by a venomous snake is 1 in 70 thousand.

    While I don’t know that stat, I’ve heard from ER/first responder types and the majority of snake bite incidents are

    1. Men
    2. On the hand/forearm
    3. Alcohol was involved

    So basically “Hold my beer, watch this” type situations.
