POTOMAC, Md. (WUSA) -- Debra Panitch says a fear of snakes has never been on her list of phobias. Of course, that was before she was bitten by a poisonous one in the backyard of her Potomac home.
It was right around 6:30 Tuesday night. Debra was cleaning up her backyard getting ready for her son's bar mitzvah party on Saturday. When she moved a piece of furniture chest to sweep behind it, she found a small snake.
According to Debra, she picked the snake up with her to hands to show her children that small snakes can't hurt you. Within seconds, the snake bit hurt, and hurt her, badly.

she sure showed those kids!
Snakes are not poisonous, they are venomous!
Finally, proof that size really doesn't matter!
She's an idiot...plain and simple, why in the world you would pick up a random snake that your not sure of??? What a genius
I agree with 11:59
Just like my neighbor said his dog doesn't bite,He's got teeth what the h-ll do you think they are for? Ding bat should have left the snake alone,the snake was just doing the natural thing to protect itself.
Sorry she got bitten. Having said that, at least her kids (and she, for that matter) got a lesson they will never forget. ...and even though there are snakes that won't kill you with their bite, most of them CAN bite. What she did was just dumb. Lesson learned?
