One small saving grace of this story is the man was spared the pain, frustration, and indignation of having to make a purchase from Wal-Mart.

Man Bitten By Rattlesnake At Clarkston Wal-Mart
CLARKSTON, Wash. (AP) - Right now a Clarkston man is recovering at a Lewiston, Idaho, hospital after he was bitten by rattlesnake at a Wal-Mart in Clarkston.    

47-year-old Mica Craig told Dave Cotton on NewsBreak on KHQ.com that he was shopping in the outdoor garden department at the Wal-Mart and was checking a price tag for bags of mulch that were sitting on some wood pallets. Craig reached down to remove what he thought was a stick that was covering up part of a price tag. When he picked it up, he discovered it was actually a rattlesnake, and it latched onto his hand.

Craig says he started screaming and managed to shake the snake loose at his feet before stomping it to death. He said an elderly bystander drove him to a local emergency room.

Craig says he was treated with six bags of anti-venom and has been told that his hand may be permanently disfigured. He said on NewsBreak that he may have to undergo plastic surgery.

He was bitten on Saturday and said doctors expect him to remain hospitalized at St. Joseph's Medical Center until Tuesday.
