These incidents are more common in warm, tropical, or rainy areas where snakes search for shelter. Rural homes, outdoor toilets, and places with damaged pipes may be more vulnerable.
Cases have been reported in Thailand, South Africa, Texas, and Australia. Victims survived, but some needed medical treatment, surgery, and emotional support after the shock.
Experts say the risk is low, but caution is still important in snake-prone areas. Checking bathrooms, fixing broken pipes, and sealing gaps can help reduce the chance of snakes entering homes.
