Hyderabad: A woman killed a snake that bit her and took it along with her to a government hospital in Mulugu district on Monday, April 15.
Santhamma, a resident of Mukunurupalem village in the Venkatapuram Nuguru mandal, found herself in a dangerous situation when a snake bit her at an MGNREG (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) centre. She reacted swiftly and managed to kill the snake. However, instead of discarding it, she decided to take it with her to the hospital.
Carrying the dead snake in a plastic bottle, she arrived at the government hospital seeking medical assistance. She wanted the doctors to identify the snake and provide her with the necessary treatment.
When the doctors examined the snake and confirmed that it was indeed venomous, she received prompt treatment for the snake bite.
