CAIRNS, Australia, May 29 (UPI) -- A man seemed embarrassed after a snake bit him in the crotch while he was relieving himself on the side of the road in Australia, an ambulance spokesman said.
The tourist could have lost his life when a poisonous brown snake lurched toward his crotch and sunk its teeth into his manhood, the Sun reported Thursday.
It was reported rescue officials hurried to the road near Cairns, Australia, and began on-site treatment.
Medical officials said the man was expected to recover, despite throwing up and complaining of a stomachache.
"It certainly had a swipe at him. But it didn't envenomate him. As it came through it must have got a bit of a shock," the spokesman said. "I think he was a bit shocked and embarrassed."
