Snake handling

[Drich]

Point of clarification: he was bitten by a venomous snake, as opposed to a poisonous one:

Poisons are substances that are toxic (cause harm) if swallowed or inhaled. Venoms are generally not toxic if swallowed, and must be injected under the skin (by snakes, spiders, etc.) into the tissues normally protected by skin in order to be toxic.

Futher point of Clarity: If a man dies snake handling, then 11 times out of 10 he did so in the 'South.' If a snake bites you and you die in the South. Then you were bit by a Poisionous (pronounced Por-zen-ness) snake.
