Any parent will tell you that one of the absolute greatest ways to stay sane during the summer months is by sending the kiddos OUTSIDE to play.
But a dad from Camden, Arkansas, has a desperate plea for parents to check their kids’ toys outside before sending them off to get that pent-up energy out of their systems.
Josh McClane was playing outside with his son, Judson, and his daughter, Jasmine, on a hot summer day. Judson had gone to play with his toy dump truck when all of a sudden, Josh heard him screaming at the top of his lungs.
“I figured it was an ant or maybe a wasp,” Josh recalls.
Instead, the three year old was suffering from a venomous and potentially deadly snake bite.
Hiding underneath his toy truck was a cottonmouth snake, also known as a water moccasin.
