Granny, 87, Kills Venomous Rattler With Bare Hands
« on: August 12, 2009, 05:28:30 AM »
http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local-beat/Granny-87-Kills-Venomous-Rattler-With-Bare-Hands-52963742.html

An 87-year-old Tampa woman had had it with the motherloving snakes on her motherloving porch.

So when a seven-inch pygmy rattlesnake slithered up to Esther Orring's door and bit her on the hand, she got even, strangling the venomous little serpent with her bare hands.

"She's a tough lady," Orring's daughter, Maria Pellicone, told WFLA. "She's a very strong person, so she will be a survivor."

Orring has been hospitalized since the Monday incident, after she was administered several vials of antivenin.

But the well-gripped granny is expected to make a full recovery, and Pellicone says she'll have the dead snake framed for her.

One "benefit" (well, in this case anyhow) of getting older is poor circulation, especially in the extremities. Probably kept the venom from moving too quickly if at all.

Of course after we kill the snake with a GUN the only "injection" we need is to "inject" another cartridge into the magazine or cylinder.
