UP man bitten by 5-ft snake kills it, then walks into hospital carrying it in bag
After being bitten by a snake, Uttam Nayak took the unusual step of bringing the dead creature to a hospital. He killed the snake himself and, despite the bite, waited until morning for medical help. Upon evaluation, doctors confirmed there were no traces of venom in his body, indicating that the single bite minimized any severe effects. Nayak is now receiving treatment and is reported to be safe.
A man in Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba district was bitten by a snake while sleeping under a tin shed one night. Instead of fleeing, 60-year-old Uttam Nayak picked up a stick and killed the five-foot-long snake with several hits. He bandaged his finger and waited until morning to return home, carrying the dead snake in a bag. Uttam's family became concerned and rushed him to the district hospital's emergency ward.
Doctors found no signs of venom in Uttam's body and treated him for the bite. After recovery, Uttam walked into the hospital with the snake in his bag, allowing doctors to confirm the species and ensure he had received appropriate care.
