New Delhi: Taking a bath in the swimming pool to get relief from the heat became a scary experience for a young man when suddenly a snake entered inside his underwear. The young man did not even notice it, but as soon as the friends present in the pool saw the snake, there was chaos there. However, instead of panicking, the friends showed patience and using wisdom took the young man out safely. The video of the entire incident is now becoming increasingly viral on social media.
How did they know that a snake was hidden inside the clothes?
According to eyewitnesses, the young man was standing comfortably in the water when a friend present with him saw something moving inside his clothes. On closer inspection it was revealed that it was a snake. Seeing this everyone became alert. No one showed haste, because even a small mistake could cost the young man’s life.
Did the wisdom of friends avert a major accident?
The friends first asked the young man to remain calm and slowly pulled him out of the water without panicking. After this, his clothes were carefully removed with the help of a towel. As soon as the underwear was removed, the snake hidden in it came out. It is a matter of relief that the snake did not attack anyone during this period and the young man survived completely safely.
Was this snake poisonous?
According to reports, the snake seen in the video appears to be a brown water snake, which is not generally considered venomous. However, the species of any snake or its poisonous nature cannot be confirmed just by watching the video. In any such situation, instead of touching the snake or trying to catch it yourself, taking the help of a trained rescue team is considered the safest way.
Is this incident really from Orai?
It is being claimed on social media that the incident took place in Orai, Uttar Pradesh, but this could not be confirmed on the basis of available facts. According to published reports, this claim was not confirmed even in fact-check and no official record of such incident has surfaced even at the local level. Therefore, claims regarding the location of the video should be viewed with caution.
What to do in such a situation?
Experts say that if a snake is seen on a person’s clothes or body, then instead of panicking, one should try to remain absolutely still. Making sudden movements can increase the risk of snake bite. Immediately alert the people present nearby and if possible call the forest department or a trained snake rescue team. Trying to catch or kill a snake yourself can be risky.
