> About a week or so ago, a mother took her eager 3 year old son to Burger 
> King for lunch.  After they ate their lunch the mother  said that the 
> son could go and play on the playground for awhile since he ate all his 
> lunch.  She watched as the boy played in the tunnels, slide and in the 
> ball-pit. The boy played for about 10 minutes when he started to whimper 
> slightly.  The mother asks the boy what had happened and he merely 
> replied, "Hurt mommy."  The mother assumed that the little boy had  
> banged his elbow or something while playing. They left to return home.  
> A half and  hour after they were home, the mother noticed some big red 
> welts on the little boys arms and legs. Not being able to figure out 
> what they were, the mother started to  look at them closer.  Could be 
> red ant bites...she did not know.  An hour later, the little boy died.  
> Come to find out, when returning to Burger King to see if there were red 
> ants in the play area,  in case the little boy had an  allergic 
> reaction.  Burger King employees and herself discovered that there was a 
> family of baby  rattlesnakes living underneath the  balls in the 
> ball-pit area.  She has since found out that this happens more 
> frequently than not.   The snakes will crawl into the ball pit because 
> it is dark and warm in there.
> 
> She knows for a fact that another death has occurred because of this in 
> South Carolina.  Please use caution when letting any children play in an 
> outside play area of a fast food restaurant, this could happen anywhere.  
> Burger Kings are now building  their play area's inside the buildings 
> for a safer environment.
