This unusual event spread quickly through the media and was widely discussed locally as well as across India. Many people gathered at the hospital to catch a glimpse of Rohal.
Rohal was taken to the hospital for treatment and was discharged within a day. According to the doctor who treated him, Satish Chandra, Rohar is from Jharkhand and is currently recovering and is not in danger of his life.
至于咬伤罗哈尔的蛇的具体种类仍不清楚。在印度,每年大约有5万人因被蛇咬而死亡。300万至400万起蛇咬事件中,有90%归因于“四大毒蛇”:银环蛇、印度眼镜蛇、罗素蝰蛇和锯鳞蝰蛇。有居民认为,罗哈尔的伤势不严重,说明攻击他的蛇毒性较弱,或者可能根本就没有毒。详细状况还有待当地相关人员调查。
According to the guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), after being bitten by a snake, one should not rely on superstitious practices or herbal remedies as this can be life-threatening; The injured person should be taken to the hospital immediately and given antivenom. WHO recommends that the injured person be removed from the affected area immediately after being bitten by a snake; Any tightness in and around the bite site can be removed and the patient can be placed on the left side; Acetaminophen (paracetamol) may be taken to relieve local pain.
