Snake Got Your Tongue?
A snake collector from Portland, Ore. stuffed a 20-inch eastern diamondback rattlesnake into his mouth to impress his girlfriend and barely survived the stunt. It sunk its fangs into the man’s tongue, and he was soon near death with a swollen tongue that blocked his airway. (illustration by Sammie W. King)
