Lowe's Garden Department: Death Awaits YOU!
You never see this on their commercials...
Copperhead snake bites customer in Lowe's garden department A customer was bitten by a copperhead snake while he was shopping Monday afternoon in the gardening section of a Lowe's in Denver, North Carolina. By Doug Criss and Tony Marco CNN (CNN) -- Gardening: Calm and relaxing. Shopping for gardening supplies: Not so much. A customer was bitten by a copperhead snake while he was shopping Monday afternoon in the gardening section of a Lowe's in Denver, North Carolina. The 4-and-a-half-foot long snake was hanging out on a tree when it must have decided it had had enough of that. The customer was taken to a hospital but the victim's condition has not been released, Lowe's told CNN. The local fire department issued a Facebook warning, telling folks to watch out when shopping for gardening gear. "This could happen at any store that sells trees," the East Lincoln Fire Department said. The store carried out a thorough search of the garden center to see if any other snakes had slithered in, said Lowe's spokeswoman Karen Cobb. None had. The store doesn't know how the snake got in. The garden center is an outdoor area with large trees. A store employee killed the snake. And the fire department posted a picture of it, wrapped up in a plastic bag.

When I read Denver I got excited for a second thinking it might be John Elway

Don't believe a Copperhead can kill you, at least it is very unlikely without it striking a main artery.

A friend of a friend was once charged by a hippo in their lumber section.

On the plus side you won't have to worry about arthritis.

I have heard that the venom can be used to help those with arthritis. You know that had to be some kind of odd discovery.

I wonder how many of those were children, elderly, or if some of those people had compromised immune systems.

The majority of Copperhead bites don't even require antivenom.

Maybe Lowe's could expand into the rural religious market, and supply the snake waver churches?
