The incident that occurred in the city of Bhagalpur, Bihar state, India, shocked the entire country. A man named Prakash Mandal was bitten by one of the world's most venomous species, the Russell's viper. However, Mandal's reaction was far from ordinary. The event unfolded as follows: After being bitten by the snake, instead of panicking, Mandal caught the snake. He then wrapped the reptile around his neck and went to the hospital. When he entered the emergency room, he was seen with the snake in his hand. Other patients and companions fled in fear at this unexpected situation. Hospital staff quickly directed Mandal to a safe area. After holding onto the snake for a long time, Mandal finally released the reptile at the insistence of the doctors and received treatment. This extraordinary event quickly spread on social media and garnered significant attention. Experts emphasized that such behavior in the case of a snake bite is extremely dangerous and is definitely not recommended. According to reports from the World Health Organization, snake bites are a serious public health issue in India. In recent years, many people have lost their lives due to this reason. Especially, the Russell's viper, krait, and cobra species are considered among the most dangerous snakes. This incident once again highlighted the need for increased awareness and educational efforts regarding snake bites in India. Authorities continue to inform the public about the correct intervention methods in the case of a snake bite.
