A Filipino ‘Snake Man’ who claimed to be immune to venom died after a cobra bit him on the tongue as he tried to kiss it.
Bernardo Alvarez, 62, caught the killer Northern Philippine Cobra after it slithered through the snake wrangler’s neighbourhood in Mangaldan town, Pangasinan province on July 9.
Neighbour’s cheered for Bernardo for managing to ‘tame’ another deadly creature.
However, while he showed off the snake to onlookers, Bernardo cheekily held the cobra close to his lips like he was trying to kiss it before the cobra lunged at his mouth and bit his tongue.
