Cabbage Snake Myth Debunked By Virginia Biologist
Virginia biologist Dr. Ellison A. Smith Jr declares the cabbage snake a harmless worm, Mermis albicana, not a reptile. He explains widespread scare stories, notes worm origins in cabbage patches, and urges calm while noting no toxicity from cabbage or worm remains. The piece discusses public panic, temperance links, and the worm’s classification within allied families.
