You’re never going to want to sit on a toilet again after reading about the terrifying attack made against this woman when she went to the loo.
Boonsong Plaikaew, from Thailand, was going about her business on the bog when she felt a searing pain.
When she looked down, blood was gushing down her legs and onto her pants which were around her ankles.
Instinctively, the 54-year-old reached her hand between her legs to find out why she was in pain and bleeding – only for a 2.1m python to lurch up and bite down on her finger.
Boonsong managed to pull the snake off her hand and ran outside screaming for help.
Her husband locked the bathroom door and called the animal rescuers who arrived with paramedics.
They gave his wife first aid and rushed her to hospital.
Speaking at the hospital, the shocked woman said she had just finish urinating when the python struck.
“I did not see the snake hiding inside the bowl, so I was just doing my stuff when I was attacked,” she said.
Fortunately, as the snake wasn’t venomous, the woman was allowed to go home with just some antibiotics to reduce the risk of potential infections from the bites.
Meanwhile, the animal rescuers captured the python which was left slithering on the bathroom floor.
They placed the animal in a sack and took it with them to be released back into the wild later.
“From now on, I’ll check the toilet every time before I sit down,” Boonsong said.
Judging from the reaction online, she won’t be the only one, with her story leaving many terrified.
“I’ll be double-checking the toilet from now on,” one person wrote on Facebook.
“That is a massive snake. I think I would give up going to the toilet,” another added.
“Going to the toilet will never be relaxing again,” someone else said.
It’s not the first time a snake has been found lurking in a toilet.
In January 2019 a Brisbane woman didn’t turn the light on when she went into her bathroom and then felt something bite her “mid-stream”.
Her horrifying tale was shared by a snake catcher on Facebook along with a photo of the 1.6m non-venomous carpet python which had “gotten just as much of a fright as she did”.
