I know a member of the family first hand through my workplace who told me and a few others. The guy was about 55 years old at the time (7-8 years ago) when he narrated the story. He was a Palestinian but in Jordan at the time it happened and was there before he reached age 18. (I should not have stated he was in Palestine.) I am not sure what other details I can provide beyond name for this narration.

While normally people differentiate 'venom' from 'poison' to be pedantic, I don't think snake venom is particularly harmful if ingested.
