💨 Abstract

A two-year-old boy in India, Govinda Kumar, remarkably survived an encounter with a venomous cobra. Playing outside, he reacted to the snake's attack by biting its head and killing it. Despite losing consciousness due to ingesting some of the snake's venom, Govinda's timely medical treatment saved his life. He was given anti-allergy medication and closely monitored before being discharged. Cobras, one of India's most deadly snakes, can paralyze and kill within hours.
