What should you do if you come accross a nest of poisonous vipers?
A. Run away screaming?
B. Watch from a distance as slither into the undergrowth then ring the NTS as they are interested in the numbers?
or
C. Pick them up for a photo call?

You would think the answer was obvious but a visitor chose option C last weekend and it's amazing how the news reports changed as the story moved from first hand account to local rag to national broadsheet.

I've just read a report in The Herald regarding the gentleman of dubious intellect who was bitten six times by two adders on Arran last weekend. But I heard it first the day after it happened from members of the Mountain Rescue. The way they described events the bloke was walking in Glen Rosa after a boozy lunch found a nest of adders and picked two up for a photograph. The adders had to bite him six times before he dropped them. His pal realised he was in trouble and ran to the nearest house for help as there's no mobile phone signal. The MRT came with the air ambulance and air lifted him to Crosshouse. He's lucky to be live.

The story in The Banter was similar to above but didn't mention any inebriation. Which is fair enough, the story is embarrassing enough for the chap and maybe the effect of the venom made him appear to be inebriated.

However the story in The Herald states that the snakes had been mating and he lifted them to get them out of the way of the children in the party..... Hmmmm And there's definitely no mention of being plastered.

Adders are very shy creatures; they will retreat at the approach of a human. I can't remember the last time someone was bitten on the island and although I walk through Glen Rosa regularly have only seen adders once or twice a year and they soon make themselves scarce. There are on average less than 10 adder bites a year in the whole of the UK

The moral of this tale is not to be so STUPID! Duh Uh as they say.
