This episode of The Crux True Survival Story podcast recounts the terrifying experience of Peggy Jones on July 25, 2023, near Sillsby, Texas. While mowing the lawn, Peggy was attacked by a venomous snake that fell from the sky and latched onto her arm. The snake, likely dropped by a hawk, struck Peggy's face as she struggled to remove it. The situation escalated when the hawk made four aggressive attempts to retrieve its prey, causing further injuries. Despite overwhelming panic, Peggy fought through the ordeal, eventually being rushed to the emergency room with injuries from both the snake and the hawk. The story delves into Peggy's resilience and eventual return to lawn mowing, equipped with a new protective canopy and a humorous 'no snakes' sign. This episode reflects on overcoming unexpected challenges with resilience and humor.
