A woman said she is lucky to be alive after being bitten by Britain's only venomous snake, leaving her hospitalised.
Beau Avis was wearing her sandals while walking her dog Bonnie on a country lane earlier this week when an adder sunk its teeth into her ankle. The attack sent the 26-year-old into anaphylactic shock within minutes.
Beau, from Essex, was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors, by chance, had anti-venom to hand, reports the Mirror.
