THE MOST VENOMOUS SNAKE IN THE WORLD

NAME: "Expecteria Trouserius" (Trouser Snake)

LOCATION: Throughout the world

DESCRIPTION:

One-eyed, with mushroom-shaped head (other types come with extra layers of skin)

Varying from pink to black.

Fang-less with a highly venomous spit. (Spit can reach distances up to 2-3 feet)

* Size varies from 3 to 12 inches, depending on its mood & sub-species.

SYMPTOMS: This snake attacks mainly women in the lower front abdomen, resulting in an
inconspicuous bump. Then a severe swelling followed by excruciating pain after nine months. The
attack is not usually fatal.

Beware: It has been known to attack men in the rear lower abdomen!

HABITAT: Usually found in bedrooms, but has been known to appear in the most unusual places.

ANTIDOTE: Various types of vaccine available for women. However, once the venom is injected
into the body only drastic measures will ensure complete recovery. There is no known antidote for
men.

WHAT TO DO WHEN ATTACKED

TOURNIQUET: Do not apply a tourniquet as the venom is too deep in the body to be affected.

On the evening of their wedding night, a young couple finally retired to their hotel room. After making her preparations, the bride came out of the bathroom to find the bridegroom on his knees in front of the bed.

"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm praying for guidance," answered the young man.
"I'll take care of that," she replied. "You pray for endurance."
