“Princess Bride” star Carrie Elvis has recovered from a pretty nasty bite, but has convinced fans it’s not ROUS or the “unusual rat”.
On the contrary, it is a more common culprit, due to its location in Southern California.
The 59-year-old tweeted:
Not Ross, but the ant. Thanks to Malibu Urgent Care staff, Los Angeles County Firefighters, staff and medical professionals @UCLAHealth For their good care. I have recovered well thanks to all these wonderful people. pic.twitter.com/0vHuFvKMTj

Most snake bites only bite when startled or in danger.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that between 7,000 and 8,000 Americans are bitten each year by venomous snakes, but these bites are rarely fatal, with five dying each year.
However, 10% to 44% of snake bites cause long -term damage.
According to the CDC, a person who has been bitten by a potentially venomous snake should see a doctor right away.
