snake bite
Half beer, half cider
A snake bite is a wound inflicted by a snake's fangs, potentially delivering venom: She was treated for a snake bite after hiking in the desert.
The term also refers to a cocktail combining beer and cider in equal parts, popular in British pubs.
Figuratively, getting bitten suggests being harmed by something that seemed harmless or that you trusted.
