Tourist Bitten While Kissing a Snake

A Chinese tourist was attacked by a python when she tried to kiss it during a snake-charmer show in Thailand. The company that runs the show paid the woman $3,000 in damages after the incident, which was caught on video. As she leaned toward the python, it lunged for her face and gripped on to her nose with its fangs. The 29-year-old woman was taken to a hospital, where she was treated for the bite. It wasn’t clear if the woman kissed the snake as part of the act or if she asked to do it.
