Where's St Patrick when you need him?
Apparently, snakes have made their way onto British beaches and are ruining people's days out.
Ophidiophobics (that's those who fear snakes) might want to stop reading now...
Over the bank holiday weekend, a woman & a dog were bitten by venomous adder snakes in two unrelated incidents.
Firstly, an unnamed woman was bitten by the reptile in sand dunes behind Woolacombe beach in North Devon on Sunday.
Devon Live reports that after she was bitten, lifeguards ran to the woman's side as they waited for paramedics to arrive and treat her.
When the emergency services reached the woman, they removed the reptile's venom from her body, potentially saving her life.
Actually terrifying!
Then, in a separate 'attack' a dog nearly met his maker when a snake bit the animal in Swansea in Wales.
The poor dog stepped on the snake and spent two days at the vets in recovery.
Good news - The dog made a full recovery!
So staycation this Summer yeah?
