1-year-old bites cobra snake to death in Bihar village, survives incident

A one-year-old child in Bihar's Bettiah bit a cobra to death and was later hospitalised after falling unconscious. The incident occurred while the child, Govinda, was playing near his home. A cobra came close to him and reportedly entered his hands. In response, the child bit the snake, which died on the spot.

A few hours later, Govinda's condition began to deteriorate. His family first took him to a nearby Primary Health Centre (PHC), from where he was referred to the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Bettiah.

Doctors at GMCH said the child is now stable and under observation.

Mateshwari Devi, the child's grandmother, said Govinda's mother was nearby collecting firewood when the snake appeared. "The snake came out, and the child hit it with something and then bit and killed it. It was a gehuaan (cobra). The child is just one year old," she said.
