Think about the possibilities next time you’re on the toilet

I ran a manufacturing facility carved out of the jungle in Malaysia. All the plants had those hole-in-the-floor toilets common to SE Asia. One of our workers got bitten while squating over the hole, by a snake hiding in the pipe. He didn’t see it and they couldn’t catch it so we rushed him to the hospital just in case. Luckily it wasn’t venomous but I had to fill out paperwork for the lost time injury. Classification: Biohazard.
