After the snake sunk its venomous fangs into his skin, the 35-year-old male, Santosh Lohar, grabbed the snake and bit it back. In fact, Lohar bit the snake three times.
Lohar informed India Today: “In my town, there’s a belief that if a snake bites you, you should bite it back twice to reduce the effects of the venom.”
The very first 2 revenge bites were to neutralize the venom, then, which 3rd time must have been for good procedure. But did it work?
India Today reports that the snake died after Lohar bit it. On the other hand, Lohar is recuperating in the medical facility, and his going to doctor says he is “out of danger.” No one appears to know what kind of snake it was, but India Today is using cobra images to share the story on social networks, so it’s possible the snake was a cobra.
Several cobra species live in India, and all are venomous. Cobra bites can be fatal, but with quick treatment, many individuals endure.
In Lohar’s case, the animal struck him as he was sleeping at a base camp with other laborers working on railway line project. After Lohar bit the snake back, his colleagues rushed him to a healthcare facility.
