Ever since that run-in with Adam and Eve, snakes have gotten a bad rap in the Holy Land.
But at Ada Barak's spa in northern Israel, slithering reptiles don't give people the creeps. They give deep-tissue massages.

"People either like it a lot or they hate it," she tells Time magazine.

For $80, a tangle of creepy-crawlies can wriggle their way up your spine and across your face, and you can decide.
