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.

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.

You know, that is one of my worst fears. Sitting down on the toilet to have a venomous snake sink his fangs into my testicles.

I had a very similar encounter imc a couple years back, but instead of a water moccasin it was an otyugh barbarian.

Damn snake stole the idea from me.

I so did not need to see that.

The toilet used to be my friend. My one true companion that would always be there for me when I needed it most. Now it has been revealed as a traitor of the lowest stripe.

I will never trust again.

Bah, I've had my fear of the toilet ever since I read Stephen King's Dreamcatcher.

*shudders* Sh*t weasels. SCARY.

Yep. Actually that term has become somewhat of an icon for me. I finished that book about a year ago, just before football season started. When we drafted our Fantasy teams among our group of friends, my team was the "Amazing Weasels". I also tended to name my characters in online games on a friend's LAN with that title. So on Ghost Recon you'd see:

Team Charlie Member Weasel has killed a terrorist.


When we play those sorts of games my buddies usually just call me " ty" for short.
