In a shocking incident that has left doctors and locals in awe, a one-year-old child in Bihar’s Gaya district survived a snake attack by biting the reptile back, ultimately killing it. The child, whose identity has been withheld, was playing in a hospital ward when he mistook the snake for a toy and put it in his mouth.
Eyewitnesses reported that the child calmly bit down on the snake, which was later identified as a venomous species. To everyone’s surprise, the child emerged unharmed from the encounter, while the snake succumbed to its injuries.
Doctors at the hospital were stunned by the child’s miraculous survival and the bizarre circumstances surrounding the incident. “We have never seen anything like this before,” said Dr. Rajesh Kumar, the attending physician. “The child showed no signs of distress or venom effects, and the snake was found dead in his mouth.”
The incident has sparked discussions about the child’s resilience and the potential reasons behind the snake’s demise. Some experts suggest that the child’s saliva may have contained enzymes that neutralized the venom, while others believe that the snake’s shock and the child’s strong bite led to its untimely death.
The child’s family expressed relief and gratitude for his well-being, attributing his survival to divine intervention. “We are thankful to God for protecting our child,” said the child’s mother. “This incident has strengthened our faith and left us in awe of the power of nature.”
The case has been widely reported in local media, with many hailing the child as a hero and a symbol of hope in the face of adversity. The hospital has also taken measures to ensure the safety of patients and visitors, particularly children, by conducting regular checks for snakes and other potential hazards.
