Trump's health secretary is bitten after picking up snakes with his hands

Trump government health secretary, RFK (Robert Kennedy Jr.), published a video on his X profile in which he removes two snakes from a friend's yard with his bare hands. In the process, RFK is stung several times.

The reptiles, known as black runner snakes, are non-venomous and pose no danger to humans. They were in the backyard of Mehmet Oz, known as Dr. Oz, who currently serves as administrator of the Centers for Health Care, Medicare, and Medicaid.

In the X post, RFK wrote that his wife, Cheryl Hines, was celebrating the removal of the snakes.

In the image, it is possible to see Trump's secretary addressing the two reptiles, picking them up in his hands and showing them to the camera. The snakes bite RFK's hands repeatedly.
