[RosieReal]

Everymorning, my local radio station has 'totally impossible trivia' where you win a t shirt or something.
I thought you folks would like to join in on this one.

so, the question is: 1 in 5 snake bite victems have -this- in common.
What is it? (just a general snakebite, nothing specific)

I'll be checking in throughout the day...lol...(sorry, no prize but bragging rights)

They tried to play with the snake rather then leaving it alone?

 

[El Jefe]

Alcohol and/or tattoos and/or they are male.

 

[BloodyBaroness]

Alcohol and/or tattoos and/or they are male.

:roflmao:

You took my guess!

 

[cobained]

Hmmm probably not male...I suspect male would be more like 3 in 5 or 4 in 5. I'll probably agree with alcohol though. Or maybe female? Hm.

 

[luckycharm318]

Bitten in their sleep?

 

[Porro]

they're a rodent?

 

[dionythicus]

1 in 5 were humiliated by their friends for screaming like a girl when they got bit?

 

[bitsy]

I was going to say they're female i.e. 4 out of 5 were blokes!

 

[wade]

I think it has to be alcohol.

 

[RosieReal]

LOL...Mr. Mohr, You guessed it!!
...supprisingly not booze though. It's the tattoo's. I personally think thats a statistic that could be used for anything...many people have tattoos.
Well...that was fun! Thanks for playing folks!

 

[arrowhd]

Hmmm. I guess tattos just piss some snakes off.

Victims of snakebites in North America usually have two common denominators, tattoos and alcohol intake. (Source)

Recent statistics show that most bite victims are men between the ages of twenty and forty, and that most bites are on hands and feet. Alcohol is typically involved in behavior leading to a bite and the victim is commonly attempting to impress friends when the bite occurs. (Source)

It's true.
