  • A brave bridesmaid is being hailed a hero after removing a snake from her sister’s wedding. It happened in Florence, Arizona. Erika Rodriguez was fearless and showed zero hesitation after swooping the slithering creature up. A parade of guests followed along with their cellphones as she removed the snake from the wedding venue. Rodriguez says she learned the right way to grab a snake from Steve Irwin's show. Inside Edition’s Alison Hall has more.

    Venomous*
    Poisonous: it’s when you ingest the toxin - and this is probably less common. Like, for example, you lick or eat a poison dart frog. Please don’t do it. Poison is a toxin that gets into the body by inhaling, swallowing, or absorption through the skin.
    Venomous: it’s when the toxin is injected into you. Examples of this would be a cobra that uses its fangs to inject venom, or a scorpion with its stinger. Venom is a toxin that gets into the body by being injected, usually by a bite or a sting.

    • @SanoyNimbus
      @SanoyNimbus Před 25 dny +19

      In Swedish language we only have one word for venomous-poisonous - giftig. The world "gift" is any thing you harmful you drink or inject. The frogs is called "pilgiftsgroda" - poison dart frog (something) ... a venomous snake is called giftorm ... a bottle with mirky fluid you can find in a den deep under the castle in your adventure game is probably en flaska med gift, a bottle of poison ... maybe it is because we only have one snake that is venomous, so we didn't want to waste our time to different that hazard from the ones you eat like the mushroom with polkadots named flugsvamp, a.k.a. en giftsvamp - poisonous mushroom ... So I think it is difficult for non native English speaker to always remember the difference.

    I grew up watching Steve Irwin too. My mom and I were heartbroken when we heard about what happened to him. I was still young when it happened. And I also grew up in the country just five miles outside of the town I halfway grew up in. So I’m a country girl. For the most part. I also had to remove a snake from the garage in one of the apartments that I lived in. (I lived with one of my aunts for a few months, until she passed away. But was able to finish out the lease agreement with the landlord.) And we were having an estate sale when I noticed something moving, but I didn’t want to scare the customers, so I waited until I could see what it was. It was a harmless baby garden snake.
    I picked it up and carried it to the field across the street from where I lived at the time.

    She must have really watched a lot of Steve Irwin to feel confident enough to pick up that snake!

    It is also important to be able to properly identify the differences between venomous and non-venomous snakes before handling one.

    When the news reporter says "poisonous" instead of "venomous" and it just makes your brain break.

    Oh Lord. Even a picture am scared because I had a trauma with snake when I was a kid. And when I got here in North Carolina I saw like that big snake a black one at my yard. I had a nightmare for 6months. Like a snake was chasing me or I saw in my dreams that my garden is full of snakes , I screamed in the middle of the night I salute to this girl.
