1-year-old toddler bites and kills a snake in Bihar, Medics shocked
According to the child's mother, he mistook a snake for a toy and was ignorant of its potential threat.
A one-year-old youngster made headlines in a strange occurrence where the toddler bites and kills a snake. The incident happened last week in the Bihar district’s Jamuhar village. The toddler was playing on his terrace when he noticed a snake, and in a surprising turn of events, he bit and killed it. Although the reptile died, the youngster is safe, which has surprised the physicians and his family.
The toddler’s mother claimed that when the youngster was playing on the terrace, he picked up the reptile, thinking it was a toy, and proceeded to bite it. She quickly removed the snake from the baby’s mouth and hurried him to the hospital as soon as she noticed him nibbling on it.
After examining the boy and confirming that he was not physically injured, the health center’s medical team deemed him healthy. They clarified that the snake was harmless and that it was frequently seen in the area during the monsoon season.
A man was trying to gently open the boy’s mouth in a video that was making the rounds among internet users, and it showed the child in the arms of a lady. The man raised a phone that showed a picture of the snake, part of its body looking like it had been crushed.
Unusual Snake Encounters
In a different incidence from earlier in July, a man in Rajauli, Bihar, was bitten by a snake and bit it again, thinking that this would counteract the effects of the venom. The man was taken to a hospital and received the necessary care, which allowed him to survive, but the snake died.
In a similar vein, local officials acted after a strange incident in which a snake bit 24-year-old Vikas Dubey from the Soura village of Uttar Pradesh several times. Concerns regarding the strange behaviour of the snake have intensified in light of reports that Vikas has been bitten seven times in forty days.
Dubey survived six snake bites in less than a month and a half. Each time the man was attacked by a snake, he was taken to the hospital, treated, and released after a complete recovery. The first event occurred on June 2, just after Dubey awoke at his home. He was transferred to a nearby hospital and given medical care. From June 2 to July 6, Dubey was bitten by six different snakes.
