An employee at Skansen has been bitten by a rattlesnake, writes The Express.
The person has been taken to hospital.
– You don’t die, it just swells, says Skansen-Jonas to the newspaper.
The person is taken to the emergency room with two bleeding stitches.
– You should always go to the doctor because there can be allergic reactions, says the Skansen profiler Jonas Wahlström to Expressen.
The rattlesnake must have arrived two weeks ago after being seized by police in Uppsala.
The police have been called to the zoo.
