Australian Cemetary Worker Gets Bit By Snake 45 Minutes After Killing Snake
JAKE Thomas nearly died after being bitten by a dead snake in a cemetery.
The retired Werris Creek railwayman has recovered after intensive care treatment from two bites from a red-bellied black snake – and he’s lived to tell a tale that beggars belief for some of us.
Old timers will tell you that a snake doesn’t die until sunset – and Jake questions now whether the myth is fact.
His story is a cracker of a snake saga.
It involves a good Samaritan act, a volunteer’s duty to keep others safe, and a tale of the snake’s tail that didn’t stop the fangs from biting into his finger.
