Man Receives Venomous Snake Bite In His Very PRIVATE Area While Doing This Outside
An Indian farmer has recovered after a venomous snake bit him on the penis while he urinated in an open field.
The 46-year-old sought treatment at a hospital in Sringar, northern India, about three hours after he was bitten. His condition was stable, but his penis was swollen and had blisters where the fangs had punctured it, according to the New England Journal of Medicine.
The patient identified the snake that bit him as “gunas,” the local name for the venomous Levantine viper.
Medical workers at the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences found that the venom was causing his blood to clot faster than usual, the Daily Mail reported.
The man was treated with a serum that neutralizes the venom of the viper, as well as that of the cobra and common krait.
After 36 hours of treatment, the farmer’s blood began to clot normally again, and hospital staff discharged him.
Four days later, the swelling in his penis finally went down. However, because the venom instantly started to eat away at his flesh after the bite, the man was left with black wounds where the fangs had punctured him.
Two weeks later, at a follow-up appointment, the man had recovered completely.
