Cobra Rice
No one wants to discover an animal in the food they purchase because, in most cases, you are not purchasing live animals for consumption. And you certainly don't want to find any living things in it if all you bought was rice. The creatures that have the ability to kill you when you reach in idly to fish out some rice must be the worst of all the living things you could find there.
When an Indian woman reached inside her fresh bag of rice and brushed against something chilly and soft inside, she just barely avoided dying. She looked inside and saw a little snake, so she naturally dialed the local snake helpline. In India, snake helplines can literally save lives.
When a trapper arrived at the woman's home, he found the snake in the rice to be a young cobra. It goes without saying that cobras are highly lethal, so if you think that being a baby makes things any better, think again. Because they have the same amount and potency of venom as adults but are unable to exert any control over envenomation, baby snakes are actually far more hazardous and their bites can be even more lethal.
