Man Finds Adder on His Sofa | Sheffield News

A man in his Cornwall cottage wakes to find a two-foot adder clinging to his leg—no joke, it’s a full-grown viper with black and green scales. He shakes it off, bolts upstairs for help, and leaves the snake lurking under his sofa. An off-duty paramedic arrives, and they rush him to the hospital where antivenom triggers a seizure. X-rays confirm no fangs remain, but his foot swells like an elephant’s and he’s in agony. Days later, seal rescue crews remove the snake—which had apparently been napping on his sofa. Now, he’s still recovering, jumpy around movement, even checking for snake eggs. Nature’s not always gentle—even in your own home.
