BANANA MANIA
In Southampton, England, a woman was doing her weekly grocery shopping when
she spotted some imported Guatemalan bananas. A big fan of Central American bananas,
the woman picked out several bunches. As she picked up one bunch, she felt a tingling
sensation in her hand, but thought nothing of it and paid for the bananas. As
the woman was loading the groceries into her car, she suddenly felt dizzy and
collapsed. The poor woman died before she reached the hospital. The coroner was
intrigued to discover that the woman had been the victim of a poisonous snake
bite and, when the police found out that she had just purchased some Guatamalan
bananas, they concluded that the snake must've been hidden among the fruits. The
snake was never found and, to this day, people believe there are poisonous snakes
in Southampton.
