An eight-year-old boy was recently rushed to hospital after a viper bite caused his hand to swell “five times the size” it normally does.
Jake Closier was on a day trip to the beach when he was attacked by the poisonous snake.
He was with father Kenny, 33, and mother Sophie, 32, on the popular Hemsby Beach in Norfolk when the snake flew at him as he played in the sand dunes.
Sophie initially thought the bite was from a harmless grass snake, but realized something was wrong when Jake’s hand went ‘all hard’.
