Woman Bitten By Poisonous Snake Hiding In Toilet
Family Afraid Of Toilet
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- In one Florida household, a whole family is afraid of the toilet after a poisonous snake used it as a hiding place.
Deadly Snake Hides In Toilet
Alicia Bailey was bitten by what appeared to have been a large water moccasin that had been hiding in the bowl in the middle of the night.
The snake bit her thigh after she lifted the lid, sending her to the hospital for three days.
No one knows how the snake got in the toilet, or where it went after that.
So the family is a little jumpy these days.
"We're not looking to take it alive," said the victim's husband, Richard Bailey, as he held a shotgun. "I just want it out of here."
"We're currently very uncomfortable in our home," Alicia Bailey said. "And toilet shy, I would say."
The Bailey's 11-year-old son is now staying with neighbors because doctors said he would die if he were bitten by a snake that size.
