Monday 09 September 2013 Re: A woman from Swansea was rushed to hospital after being bitten by a python on her way home from a curry restaurant. Sue (Susan) Cull was attacked as police were hunting the eight foot snake in Griffith John Street, in the Dyfatty area. The 47-year-old, took a short cut across the grass near to where she lived when she suddenly felt a stinging sensation on both legs. Ms Cull believed she had walked through stinging nettles. But when she got home her partner Kay noticed there was blood streaming from both her legs. Despite using antiseptic wipes, strips and bandages, the blood kept flowing. Ms Cull said her partner alerted the ambulance service and a paramedic told her that they believed she had been bitten by a snake. She said: "I walked through the grass and felt what I thought was a stinging nettle on one leg and then the other.
