“I told you not to tread on me”, snake said to reporters after the incident. “There are, like, signs everywhere. I even made them yellow. Jeez, what else do I have to do?”

This is the best summary I could come up with:
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A candidate for West Virginia secretary of state said he has been hospitalized for copperhead snake bites sustained while removing election campaign signs.
Doug Skaff said he was bitten in the left leg and the right foot Wednesday near U.S. Route 119 in Danville, news outlets reported.
Skaff told West Virginia radio network MetroNews that passersby called for medical assistance.
Skaff resigned his House of Delegates seat from Kanawha County last September after stepping down as the chamber’s Democratic leader in August.
He announced in October that he was switching to the GOP and running for secretary of state.
He is president of HD Media, which owns the Charleston Gazette-Mail and several other state newspapers.
