Ouch! Snake Bites Israeli Man on Penis
A man in northern Israel was reportedly bitten on the penis by a snake while sitting on the toilet Friday night.
The unidentified man, who was visiting his parents in the Galilee town of Nofit, was rushed to the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa after he reported feeling a burning sensation and seeing a snake in the toilet, a correlation he is reported to have felt uneasy about, according to the Times of Israel.
Tests revealed that the snake was not poisonous, though according to the hospital “there will undoubtedly be bite marks in the area in question.”

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
