A man in India bit a snake after it attacked him, resulting in the snake\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old railway worker, Santosh Lohar was working in a forested region near the city of Nawada in Bihar, India when the incident occurred on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

When Lohar went to sleep, the reptile suddenly attacked him. He reacted by rapidly seizing the snake and biting it back twice, killing the creature.<\/p>\n

In some parts of India, there is a superstition that biting a snake transfers the venom back to the reptile.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my village, there\u2019s a belief that if a snake bites you, you must bite it back twice to neutralize the venom,\u201d Lohar told\u00a0India Today<\/em>. The species of snake that bit him has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

After the bite, Lohar was rushed to the hospital by his colleagues.<\/p>\n

He was kept overnight and responded well to treatment, the\u00a0Times of India<\/em>\u00a0reported, indicating he had been given antivenom. He was discharged from the hospital the next day.<\/p>\n

India is home to a diverse range of snake species, including several that are highly venomous. Some of the country\u2019s most dangerous snakes include the\u00a0Indian cobra<\/a> (also known as the spectacled cobra), the common krait, the Russell\u2019s viper, and the saw-scaled viper.<\/p>
