| Ireland records first-ever venomous snakebite |
| 2020-03-07 |
| h/t Instapundit [Fox News] - Legend has it that St. Patrick drove all of the snakes out of Ireland and into the sea using the power of his faith. A Dublin man is hoping for some of that power for himself after he reportedly fell victim of a venomous snakebite ‐ believed to be the first time such an event has been recorded in Ireland. The 22-year-old, who owned a venomous puff adder, was treated with anti-venom in Connolly Hospital, the Irish Post reported last month. |

| #10 They have anti-venom in stock? In Ireland? What is next, Unicorn Repellent (It's gotta be effective! Have you ever seen one while sober...?)? (There is a native venomous snake in England, the adder, so... is it stocked for silly tourist bringing back a unique souvenir?) |
