According to the Telegraph, a female contestant from a Dutch reality TV show was attacked by a snake leaving her in hospital for a few days for observation.
The contestant, Ymke Wieringa was taking part in RTL- ‘Real Girls in the Jungle’- a show consisting of a group of girls that compete against each other in daring or scary tasks.
She tried to pick up a boa constrictor from a box after the other girls backed out, but ended up in serious pain after the snake bit her and constricted her arm.
