Once again with the holidays in mind I came across a spa treatment that if someone gifted me with I would have to refuse. The treatment is offered in a northern Israel spa to relieve common aches and pains. For a mere $70 (cheap for spa procedures) dozens of non-venomous snakes are draped over the body,eliciting a variety of sensations (for me those sensations would be revulsion and fear!). Small snakes such as the milk snake brush lightly over the skin,larger ones like the corn snake and the king snake provide deeper pressure to alleviate sore muscles. This is one spa procedure that I would not enjoy,and possibly might not live through.
