More than once my greed to harvest herbs has caused encounters with hostile critters. Occasionally it has resulted in death. This recent news story from Wimberly, Texas is an apparent example of this happening in real life.

Snake bite cause of death

A Wimberley woman whose body was found in a pasture on Friday died of a snake bite, preliminary autopsy results indicate.
Margaret Wilson White, 58, was discovered three hours into a second manhunt after her gray minivan was discovered abandoned on the side of Ranch Road 12. She had been missing since July 20 when her family believed she had gone to Houston.
The Travis County Medical Examiner's Office hasn't completed their autopsy but believes two puncture wounds discovered on White's ankle indicate she died of a snake's venom. A complete autopsy won't be available for at least a few days, Hays County sheriff's Sgt. Allen Bridges said.
Bridges said investigators don't know why she was on the land but he's said previously that she was an herbalist who enjoyed collecting native plants. Her body was found about 200 yards from her vehicle.

See, it's just like I always told Psybie. When you run off and leave your tank on the road while you go into the sticks to go pick flowers, bad things happen.

While that's sad from a real life standpoint, from a World of Warcraft standpoint that's awesome! However, she must have been a newb to have died to a level 1 snake critter.

Must have been a peacebloom she was trying to pick. :)
