Sleeping Md. Woman Bitten By Copperhead Snake In Her Bed
BY RACHEL SADON IN NEWS ON JUN 15, 2017 4:29 PM

In the annals of horrifying news, mankind has really been upping the ante lately. Mother Nature, however, has reasserted her dominance in Silver Spring.

See this passage from The Washington Post's John Kelly:

Christie’s screams woke her family, and her mom and dad ran down to her basement bedroom thinking she was having a nightmare. There was Christie, her hand already starting to swell from the venom. And there was the snake, still in her bed.

Christie Kelly was sleeping in her bed when she awoke to the searing pain of two bites from a copperhead snake.

Please let that sink in.
