• A woman in a red T-shirt and apron was filmed grabbing a live snake with her bare hands while bystanders looked on
• The video was posted by @mustsharenews who jokingly asked whether the woman had called the fire department or the other way around
• Social media users from around the world praised the barefoot woman for her fearlessness

A barefoot woman has taken the internet by storm after a video of her catching a snake with her bare hands went viral on Threads. The clip, shared by user @mustsharenews, showed the woman dressed in a red T-shirt and apron crouching down beside a puddle of water to grab the wriggling snake. She held on firmly and pulled it free as onlookers gathered around her.

A man in a brown shirt attempted to help by striking the snake's head with a broom, but the woman was the one doing most of the work. The TikTok page @mustsharenews posted the video with a tongue-in-cheek question about whether the woman had called the Fire and Rescue Department for backup or whether it was the other way around.
