MD Reacts to RFK Jr.'s Snake Wrangling; RN's Search History; Lifesaving Rx Calls
- On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy posted a viral video grabbing two snakes at the home of Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
- This latest incident adds to a long history of wildlife encounters involving Kennedy, including widely publicized stories about handling roadkill and birds; critics and family members have expressed concern regarding his unconventional interactions with animals.
- Kennedy, dressed in professional attire, grabbed the Black Racers while his wife Cheryl Hines looked on; one of the reptiles managed to bite his hand as Kennedy avoided serious injury during the encounter.
- The Florida Museum warns that these non-venomous creatures typically avoid humans, noting that bites usually occur only when snakes are "intentionally molested." Experts advise leaving wildlife alone and seeking medical care if bitten.
- His penchant for such activities has frequently made headlines, drawing both humor and criticism; as recently as April, the biography "RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise" revisited these controversies, emphasizing public reaction to his wildlife hobbies.
