Most expensive selfie, ever

Remember the woman last week who tried to take a selfie with a bison? It ended poorly. So let’s take this opportunity to remind everyone who didn’t get the point last time: Do not take selfies with dangerous wild animals. Thank you.

A guy in San Diego named Todd Fassler tried to take a selfie with a rattlesnake back on the Fourth of July. He looks like he’s in his 50’s or 60’s, so he’s not some idiot kid — just an older idiot apparently.

He says he feels comfortable around rattlesnakes, since he used to have one as a pet. But the selfie didn’t work out so well, because he got bitten.

He ended up in intensive care, and there’s a nasty video of his right arm. The whole thing turned dark purple from the venom. But, the financial fallout might be worse.

He was in the hospital for almost a week. Two different hospitals had to use all of their anti-venom to save his life, and his bill was more than $153,000. More than half of that was for the anti-venom.

He sent a photo of the bill to a local news station, and it looks like he doesn’t have insurance, so he’s responsible for all of it. It also says the initial due date was yesterday.
