Shocking As Indian Man Bites Snake To Death

As he got up and went toward the commotion, he learned that a
poisonous snake, a Common Krait, had sought shelter in a neighbor’s house.
Thinking
nothing of his own safety, he rushed into the house. After twenty minutes, he
emerged from the home with the reptile in his hands. In front of everyone, he
began biting the snake until it was dead. Leaving the snake’s corpse on the
ground, he proceeded to go back to bed as his neighbors applauded his bravery.
Half a
day later, those same villagers were forced to deal with the harsh reality that
the mysterious hero was dying as reports show he was working his job at a local
store when he collapsed. People ran to his aid, but found his breathing
labored.
They rushed
him to the hospital to receive medical care. Unfortunately, doctors were unable
to save the man. According to local accounts, while tangling with the Common
Krait the night before, he had been bitten. However, he failed to realize this,
as the snake’s bite is painless, does not swell, and itches less than a
mosquito bite. This helps explain why the Krait is responsible for most
snakebite deaths in India.
