Others made have heard the story of the rattlesnake that bit into the truck tire that ran him over, leaving a fang(s) imbedded in the wall that later envenomated the mechanic changing the tire when he ran his hand across it. A variant puts the fangs in a rancher’s boot, not only killing him but successive wearers of those same boots, his kin they were handed down to. Nice stories but just that, more snake ULs.

I had to link to this story, because a freshly decapitated snake bit this guy.
