Snake death due to human bite

Weather of Arabia - Indian media revealed that an Indian man named "Santosh Lohar" survived certain death after being bitten by a poisonous snake, as he had a strange reaction, which was to bite the snake to death.

The media reported that Lohar, 35 years old, was sleeping in his camp in the Rajoli district of Bihar state when a poisonous snake entered his tent and bit him. Lohar woke up to find himself facing mortal danger. He reacted quickly and unexpectedly, hitting the snake with an iron rod and then... He bit him several times until he was killed.

Lohar said that a common misconception in his village prompted him to do this, as some residents of his town believe that biting a snake after its bite neutralizes the poison.

Fortunately for him, Lohar succeeded in killing the snake, but he suffered minor injuries from the bite, and was immediately taken to the hospital, where he received the necessary treatment and recovered quickly.
