An unusually high number of Swedish golfers have reported being bitten by vipers while handling their balls in the rough.
“It’s probably because of the weather,” said Hanna Holmquist, spokeswoman for the Stockholm county health board.
With temperatures soaring over the last ten days, the health board has seen a 47 percent increase compared to the same period last year in the number of phone calls from members of the public concerned about various forms of bites and stings.
