I am guessing the man had no idea how deadly cobra venom is?

I had always assumed these “snake charmers” devenomed the snakes they used for their own safety, if not for the safety of the tourists. I guess I was wrong...

The poor dude does not look happy when the charmer shoves the cobra right in front of him.

That’s one less H1-B “computer genius” to take American jobs. It’s a start.

Puts a deadly cobra around a tourist, around someone he doesn’t even know. OK, yes, I can see why we have to import these people to the USA, multiculturalism is awesome. Let’s have snake charmers live next to Nazi Pelosi.

A few minutes later the man begins losing consciousness, but rather than take him to hospital, onlookers took him to a medicine man.

Medicine man: Indias version of Obamacare.

Thanks for ruining my snake charming tour in India. Well I'll cross that off the list and go on to Africa to the Cape Buffalo riding contest.

Maybe the little cobra didn’t know he was going to shut him down.

In Thailand visit to Reptile Gardens, before I realized what was next, a worker put ~6 ft. python over my shoulders and around my neck then handed the head to me to hold at “the neck” for a friend to take a picture.

Tip (I learned later): Firm hold and keep the mouth away from face and body! Pythons bite first for an anchor hold, coil around the upper body, then constrict upon every exhale of the victim until he dies.

BTW I did NOT get the pic with python - the film did not load properly on the river boat ride...

I DID get the close up pic (taken with 50mm lens) of milking a King Cobra from ~2-3 feet away after the King Cobra “rodeo” inside about an 6 - 8 inch high “corral”
