Viral News: In a bizarre incident in Chattisgarh, an eight-year-old child bit a cobra snake to death when it wrapped around his fingers in the rural Pandarpadh village of the Jashpur district, roughly 350 kilometres northeast of Raipur.
In the backyard of his home on Monday, Deepak was playing when he was bitten by a venomous cobra. “The snake got wrapped around my hand and bit me. I was in terrible pain. As the reptile didn’t move when I tried to shake it off, I bit it hard twice. It all happened in a flash.”
His family took him right away to the neighbourhood primary care facility. Dr Jems Minj, block medical officer said, “He was quickly administered anti-snake venom and kept under observation for the entire day and discharged.”
Qaiser Hussain, a snake expert explained, “He didn’t show any symptoms and recovered fast owing to the dry bite when the poisonous snake strikes but no venom is released. Such snakebites are painful and may show only local symptoms around the area of bite.”
Due to the more than 200 different species of snakes that can be found there, the tribal region of Jashpur is also known as Naglok (abode of serpents).
