A FEMALE university security guard who decided to defecate in a bushy area because toilets were too far, got more than she had bargained for when she was bitten by a snake on her buttocks.
The 29-year-old woman who is employed by a private security company contracted to the National University of Science and Technology in Bulawayo gave out a scream when the snake struck her bottom, alerting her colleagues who rushed to her aid.
A university spokesman said the woman who declines to be named was to blame, charging: "She knows where the toilets are."
According to the Bulawayo Chronicle, the woman chose to relieve herself in the bush because there were no toilets near the main entrance where she was manning the gate.
Recounting her ordeal, she said: "I felt a painful sting and I ran screaming for help towards my colleagues. However, that is all I can remember because when I woke up I found myself in a hospital bed."
Other guards who came to her aid say they saw a snake escaping into the thick bush on an adjacent piece of land to the university and immediately summoned for an ambulence. She was admitted for two nights at the nearby United Bulawayo Hospitals.
Another guard told the Chronicle: “The situation is really pathetic as we are exposed to danger because we are forced to use the bush as a toilet. We have tried to ask the university to build some toilets for us on several occasions, but up to now they have not done anything about it."
Felix Moyo, the university's director of public relations had no sympathy for the guard.
“I heard that there was a female security guard who was bitten by a snake, but I am not sure what she was doing at the time. However, if she was relieving her self in the bushes then that is not the university’s fault as they know where the nearest toilets are if they need to relieve themselves,” he said.

Bush’s fault.
Before you complain, it’s news because it was in a newspaper.
Did they kill it and eat it? Snakes can be very tasty and food isn't exactly plentiful over there.
Who cares about the snake, I want to know why you've been beating your dad.
Oh boy, here we go!
"I hate it when that happens!"
I expect that hundreds of people have been bitten on the @ss whilst taking a dump in the bush.
I can't blame the snake... I'd strike too if a massive
load was about to fall on my home.
I tend to not eat things I've pooped on.
Series pain in the bum. 1st to say it!
I take it you are not Mexican?
The snake was just after a piece of a$$.
Stay out of the bush!
I'm wondering if she had time to wipe, or if she was too panicked?
Reason 1,267 why I never go camping.

Who sucked the venom out?
Probably scared the s--- out of her.
