While she was not far from her grandson, a grandmother, taken aback, saw the toddler catch a snake and bite him before her eyes. They were both near their home this Friday, in a village in the state of the Bihar, in the northeast of India. Before the grandmother could do anything, the Cobra was already lying dead on the ground, and the child had lost consciousness, reported The Indian Express.
The days of the child are not in danger
The very young boy was transferred to the Bettiah public university hospital. According to the director of the hospital, Duvakant Mishra, “the boy, Govind Kumar, was transferred by the primary health center located near his village, where he was urgently transported by family members after having passed shortly after having bit the living serpent”.
The circumstances of this incident are not very clear: “His family members say he caught the serpent home in the village of Mohachchhi Bankatwa. Her grandmother surprised her with the snake and, before she could intervene, the child had already bit the reptile, “said the hospital director.
The little boy’s days are not a priori in danger: the hospital also clarified that it was monitored by doctors and that a treatment for poisoning would be put in place if it had symptoms.
