"I was trying to just walk it off, and then I started limping to my mom, and it started swelling up getting worse and then I couldn't even touch it, so it just got worse really quick," she was quoted to a report.

Can you even make out, there was a snake there? Probably, that is why even Paris could not understand what exactly had stung here. She was given four doses of anti-venom through an IV.
