Snake Bites Model In Breast and Dies of Poisoning
f1vlad writes "A snake that bit model Orit Fox in the breast has died of silicone poisoning." It seems almost impossible to me that the boa's teeth could have gotten deep enough to hit the implant but The Daily News, Breitbart, and many other sources say it happened so it must be true, right?
Is there nothing they can't do?
Other than actually looking like real breasts obviously.
If I were God, wouldn't I protect my churches from acts of me?
Read a little more about the incident
Really, for those who know much about the breast implant procedures, they'd know that the silicon is not just under the skin. A boa, if not defanged, would have fangs that are maybe 1cm (0.3") long. Since she apparently didn't have any blood dripping, nothing pierced the skin.
Now for the NSFW portion of this message.
Here is a comparison of subglandular breast implants to subpectoral breast implants. ... and the full page, with more illustrations.
Here is a doctor talking about the subglandular implants (over the muscle)
As you should be able to spot from the first link, there is skin and fatty tissues that would have been thicker than the fangs are long, regardless of the implant type. Consider it's a constrictor and not a viper.
Also, the snake would have bitten to scare its attacker. It didn't like the way it was being handled. If it thought she was lunch, it would have curled up with her for a nice long nap. When biting, it wouldn't have been sucking.
If it did die, it was most likely treated like most animals who attack humans. It was put down. Maybe she and the station demanded it. Maybe the trainer just said it was put down.
Serious? Seriousness is well above my pay grade.
rawr!!!
Sad.
Birds are not dinosaur descendants;birds are dinosaurs, for all useful meanings of "birds", "are" and "dinosaurs"
This was on The Daily What a few days ago and proven to be false. Apparently someone made a snarky comment in a news article on an entertainment site about how the "snake died of silicone poisoning" and the traditional news outlets, instead of checking their facts, ran the story as if the comment was vetted. It's not, the snake is alive and slithering.
You could probably drink it. Outside of some diarrhea, it'll go right through you. Best guess is that they beat it do death in revenge and used the silicone story as a coverup.
The story is pure nonsense. Boid snakes (boas) may have relatively long teeth compared to colubrids (typical snakes), which come in handy when catching and holding on to flighty prey, (especially birds), but they will not have gone deep enough (perhaps a few millimeters at most) to reach any silicone breast implants, which are typically placed subglandularly. I'm not even sure if the teeth would be able to pierce an implant if the snake's head had been mashed onto her breast.
Then there's the question of the girl's alleged implants. After reading this article, it seems that many implants these days contain a saline solution as opposed to a silicone gel, and even when they contain the latter it's a semi-solid substance "that mostly eliminates filler leakage." Anything else and the girl would probably have to be at least ten years older.
Actually, at first I misread the title of the story and thought the girl had died of silicon poisoning. However, in the unlikely event that an implant had been pierced and resulted in a death, I would still be more surprised if the snake had been so unfortunate. After all, in that case the snake will have made contact with only a minute amount of silicone and, as opposed to the girl, the substance would not have entered its bloodstream.
In the highly unlikely event that any silicone did get into the snake's mouth, it's unlikely that this will have caused the snake any harm. Snakes frequently and inadvertently ingest all kinds of organic and inorganic matter when swallowing meals (dirt, grit, leaves, the contents of the prey animal's stomach), but this almost never does any harm. Short of getting (or forcing) the snake to swallow an obvious poison of some sort, the only normally non-toxic organic substance I can think of that turned out to be harmful for snakes was vegetable oil, which I once heard ended up killing a specimen after it was used to make a force-feeding session easier.
Finally, if the snake did actually die afterwards, it seems to me more likely that this would be due to unrelated causes, such as a poor state of health, which with snakes and reptiles in general can often be difficult to detect until its too late.
... but i still don't understand... which of both animals has died? The ugly one or the reptile?
What was this ugly girl trying to do with that snake ?
She looks really DUMB.
damn, I was hoping the bimbo died from snake poison, not the snake from bimbo poison. :(
