Poisonous attraction.

In Erzurum province, Ismail Bülbül was biten by a scorpion a year
ago in Oltu district and spent a month in intensive care before
regaining his health. Last week Bülbül was biten by a snake and spent
another week in intensive care. He said "my life is poison.
This is what bad luck is all about."

Bülbül (49), who is married and has two children, went with
his family to Tortum Waterfall for a picnic last week. While
he was sitting on the grass a snake emerged from the nearby
bushes and bit him on his right thumb. Bülbül feinted from the
poison as his relatives cut the bite point and tried to drain the
poison, without success.

Bülbül has remained in Erzurum Atatürk University Medical
School Yakutiye Research Hospital for the past week.

Beware of wild life in Erzurum!
