Thai man catches cobra snake in his mouth!

London, Fri, 18 Dec 2009 ANI

London, Dec 18 (ANI): Khunsan, a Thai street performer, is a veteran at the game of 'snake boxing'.

 

In the dangerous sport, a fighter teases a king cobra close to him and then dodges its lethal bite, reports the Sun.

 

Snake boxing killed three villagers last year, as the venom of a cobra paralyses the nervous system, ending a man's life within 15 minutes.

 

Many have also lost their fingers to the game.

 

Moreover, the only remedies available for a cobra bite are crushed leaves and lemon juice, which often fail to save lives.

 

However, men like Khunsan still go on with the shows to earn a living. (ANI)
