This story was just too good to NOT post. I have no doubt the tourist must have been in horrendous pain and agony; I was stung on the toe by a hornet a week ago - right between two toes, in that super sensitive spot - and that sucked. But thinking about getting a “curtain” (female equivalent to a penis) bit by a snake is just flat out TORTURE. Poor guy!!!!
A ROADSIDE toilet stop ended in pain, embarrassment and almost death for a tourist when a highly venomous snake bit the end of his penis.
The deadly brown snake slithered between his legs and lunged at his manhood as he crouched on a roadside near Laura, 300km northwest of Cairns, about a month ago.
Details of the incident only came to light yesterday after they were confirmed by a paramedic.
“It certainly had a swipe at him,” an ambulance spokesman said yesterday.”But it didn’t envenomate him. As it came through it must have got a bit of a shock.”
The snake beat a hasty retreat, leaving its victim with a scratch, vomiting and abdomen pain. Emergency workers raced to the scene to treat the man.The wound was wrapped in plastic in case poison had penetrated the skin but medical staff gave the man the all-clear after conducting tests.
He was taken to Cooktown Hospital where he spent a night recovering. The ambulance spokesman described him as “lucky”, given his near encounter with one of Australia’s most poisonous snakes.
“I think he was a bit shocked and embarrassed,” he said
He’s going to be more embarrassed now that the story has gone viral online. Anyone know his name?
The snake he was bitten by is called the common brown snake or elapid snake but is also known as being one of the world’s deadliest snakes. Being an opportunistic feeder, the snake will consume almost any vertebrate animal, including frogs, lizards, snakes, birds rodents and male genitalia.

“He’s going to be more embarrassed now that the story has gone viral…”
He’s probably grateful it’s just the story.
I’ve done a quick Google for ’snake bites penis name’ - thank God this isn’t a work computer - and can’t find anything. One imagines this may have been done on purpose.
