This is the stuff of nightmares.

According to the NY Daily News, an unidentified shopper was browsing the aisles at a Lowe's outlet in Corinth, MS when they were suddenly bitten in the head by a snake.

The snake was said to have been inside a store cabinet. The customer had opened the cabinet when the chicken snake, which is also known as a black rat snake, corn snake or pilot snake, jumped out and lodged its fangs on the customer's head.

Thankfully, chicken snakes are nonvenomous. The unidentified person was rushed  to Magnolia Regional Health Center for treatment.
