Didn't even penetrate the silicone implants. If the snake had died of silicone poisoning, guess what would have happened to Orit Fox. The snake clearly just got the skin.

(that is for what it is in dozens of pills for "digestion"and is used as a antifoam agent in industrial applications and wastewater treatment) . That is all it does, like all other polymers, it can't be resorbed and cannot "do" anything outside guts. Polysiloxane (either liquid or solid if only dispersed finely enough) leads to

From what I understand, this story was reported on the blog "Oh No They Didn't." (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/56815690.html . ) The part about the snake being poisoned was actually just a joke, but then the story went viral. BTW: some of the pictures of Orit Fox are as creepy as the snake. Plastic surgery is one of those things which should be done in moderation. Little late.
