Poison bite mystifies doctors after garter snake incident
Eleven year old Garth Allman was bitten on a playground at El Rancho Elementary School in Camarillo by a common garter snake later identified as non poisonous. Doctors at USC Medical Center said the bite produced a toxic reaction they cannot yet explain and require further study on how venom entered the boy. The snake was taken to the hospital for examination after being kept in a classroom glass tank and flown by helicopter to the medical center as the boy's condition worsened.

Eight animal control workers removed 96 cats from Ruth Ziemann's Chicago residence. The house reportedly contained green mold and was described as overrun, with cats in cupboards and the refrigerator. Three trucks hauled away felines, with officials noting the roundup may exceed 100 cats and be the largest in the city’s dog pound history.
