ORANGE COUNTY, NC (WRAL) - Doctors and nurses at UNC Hospitals were working Tuesday to save the life of an Orange County man who was bitten by a king cobra.
Ali Iyoob was bitten in his home Monday night, according to Orange County Animal Services, and he was in the hospital's intensive care unit Tuesday afternoon.
On a Facebook page with Iyoob's photos and personal information, Iyoob says he works as a beekeeper and studied biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. University officials say Iyoob studied at the school from 2011 to 2015 but does not have a degree.
