In the village of Tedha, which belongs to the Sumerpur block of Hamirpur district, a snake hidden in footwear bit Sagar Singh on Thursday evening around five o'clock. He was getting ready to go to work, and as soon as he put on the boot, the snake inside bit him on the leg. Due to his deteriorating condition, relatives immediately took him to the district hospital. The family brought the snake, locked in a box, which caused a commotion at the hospital.
A resident of Tedha village, son of Krishnakumar, was preparing for work on Thursday evening. He did not pay attention and put on the boot. The snake, which was hiding inside the footwear beforehand, suddenly bit him on the leg, leading to Sagar's worsening condition.
After the incident, relatives showed prudence, caught the snake, and placed it in a box. When they arrived at the district hospital with the injured person and the trapped snake, a wave of hustle began among the people. Dr. Dharmendra reported that the snake resembles a cobra.
Experts and doctors advise caution during the rainy season, as snakes seek safe shelter in clothing and footwear. According to medics and specialists, shoes should be thoroughly shaken out and inspected before putting them on. In case of a snakebite, instead of rituals like waving hands, the patient should be immediately taken to the hospital.
