Indian man crunches snake back considering it would change the poison’s result, reported in The International News.
In an extraordinary happening, a man in India destroyed a snake that had chewed him by pecking the reptile back twice.
According to Hindustan Times, “A railway employee Santosh Lohar was bitten by a snake. The man proceeded to bite the snake back thinking it would reverse the venom’s effect.”
The snake passed after being chewed by Santosh while he was brought to a hospital where he stayed after proper medical therapy. He was terminated the next day.
Santosh, 35, was part of a team spreading railway tracks in a thickly forested part of Rajauli and he was chewed by a snake when he was fibbing down to rest.

The railway employee, without a dual reflection, carried the snake and ground it twice, acknowledging the local mythology that chewing the reptile back would rescue the person who was chewed.
“Around 50,000 people are exterminated by snakebites yearly in India,” reported Hindustan Times.
Around 90% of the tidbits are by these four snakes — common krait, Indian cobra, Russell’s viper, and saw-scaled viper.
