Stories of snakes biting
people are commonplace, no doubt. But a man biting a snake in revenge for
biting him first sounds like a story from the Hollywood movies!
But this is real as NAN
reports of a farmer in northern India chewing off a snake’s head in revenge
after the reptile bit him. Just as surprising as this could be, his attending
doctors, who couldn’t believe their eyes said they had never come across such a
bizarre case.
The incident, a local
media reported on Wednesday, took place in Uttar Pradesh state’s Hardoi District
at the weekend, when the man identified only by his first name, Sonelal – was
rushed to a government health centre after locals found him unconscious.
The man told villagers
that he was grazing his cattle in the fields when the snake bit him, which
however made him so angry that he had to chew off the daring reptile’s hood
before spitting it out.
Hear him: “The snake bit
me, so I held its head and chewed it off, it died, then I brought it back to
the village. I tore off its head again,’’ Sonelal told the ANI news agency.
Sanjay Kumar, a doctor who
treated him said he was amazed that the man survived after biting the hood,
which could have contained venom, assuming it was a poisonous snake. However,
the local media said that the doctors failed to find any marks of snakebite on
his body.
“I’ve never seen such a
case in my life. The man was all right even after biting a snake,’’ Kumar said.
Witnesses who claimed they
saw him ingest part of the snake said they suspected the man was addicted to
drugs. Medical officials believe that the man’s abnormal reaction could only be
explained if he was under the influence of drugs.
