I was told it can cause you to have a stroke, and especially bad for young children and old folks if bitten. Cent Admin,

One about almost running over a snake, the good luck/bad luck consequences, etc. I'll post a couple more this week for those interested in these stories of the creepy crawlies and cultural aspects and such.

Not too long ago, while visiting family in Ubon, I ran over a snake (good size)with the Family fortuner. All of a sudden everyone in the vehicle was animated and yapping to get me to stop the car. I pretended non-comprehension and slowed but kept moving (Be damned if I wanted to get a close-up of a big snake. After calm returned and I was able to understand what all the commotion was about I surmised that I should have stopped the car so that my niece could have retrieved the snake and added it to the menu for that evening. Needless to say....I was very relieved that I had not stopped and even more so when we returned a short time later and the snake had vanished. slithered away or got bagged?

So even without shoes, it's dangerous. Time to go out and buy the biggest can of bug spray I can, me thinks... I just had a huge spider walk across my foot in the shower.

Always shake your shoes out at arm's length before putting them on. Me? I wear sandals all the time. The little creepy crawlies can't hide out in them...so far. Old bushman’s trick.

I've seen neighbors kill snakes and dump their bodies in the road. But great story. The cobra in my shoe gave me a little fright. I still get shivers down my spine thinking about what would have happened if I didn't check. I can’t believe they ate it. I’ve seen neighbors kill snakes and dump their bodies in the road.
