Read the related story down the bottom titled 'Thailand record-setting 'Snake Man' dies'..

Wipha said Boonreung's relatives told her that Boonreung was showing villagers a new cobra when he was bitten. He took herbal medicine and a shot of whiskey, and continued with the show until he collapsed, the doctor said.

:roll:

i dont tihnk its bs. they use lots of herbs & plants which belive it or not has cured things that western docs say cant be cured etc.

eating a raw snake gallbladder on the other hand probaby isnt such a good idea lol

The boy ate a raw snake gallbladder offered by his parents. They thought a snake gallbladder would keep their son healthy and greatly improve his eyesight - a common belief in the countryside.

Ummmm...wrong! :lol:
