Meanwhile in Nightmares: Man Bitten on Balls by Toilet Snake Confirms We Will Never Sit on the Pot Again

Stop. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Now think about the worst day you’ve ever had. Then multiply that day by a billion and yours might be comparable to the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day had by a 47-year-old Dutchman vacationing in South Africa. How bad was his day you ask? Well, he got bitten on the balls by a snake while trying to pinch a loaf that resulted in a case of “scrotal necrosis,” which is even worse than it sounds.

According to Urology Case Reports a snouted cobra—was sitting inside the toilet bowl when the man sat down and the rest is… history. Of course, after being bitten on the balls, the man was forced to wait three hours before a helicopter could transport him to a trauma center over 200 miles away.

While waiting the man, “felt a burning sensation in his genitals and a pain that ascended through his groin to his flank, upper chest, and abdomen. He also reported vomiting but no neurological symptoms,” the journal also explained.

Adding, “His penis and scrotum were noted to be swollen, deep purple in color, and painful on hospital admission.”

After being diagnosed with scrotal necrosis, he received eight doses of snake venom antiserum and tetanus prophylaxis. Which definitely does not sound good. The moral of this story… always flush before you go because you never know what’s going to reach out and bite your balls.
