(Copyright Calgary Herald 2004) The large
trees section at a Lowe's store looks a lot like a forest, but customers
don't expect to see dangerous fauna living in the flora. A customer
rummaging through the trees at an Oklahoma Lowe's store was bitten on the
hand by a 45-centimere eastern diamondback rattlesnake, a company spokeswoman
said Wednesday. "The
gentleman thought he had hit his hand on a thorn but they discovered it was a
snakebite," said Chris Ahearn, a spokeswoman for the Mooresville,
N.C.-based hardware chain. A relative
shopping with the man Sunday killed the snake, and they brought it with them
when the customer was taken to a hospital to ensure proper treatment for the
poison, Ahearn said. A hospital
official would not provide information without the man's name. The rattler,
which can grow as long as seven feet, often gives warning bites that deliver
no venom. |
