Brother Slaps Snakebite Victim 150 Times To Keep Him Awake
Hardoi Man 'Slaps' Brother 150 Times In One Hour To Keep Him Conscious After Snake Bite, 15 Anti-Venom Injections Save His Life · freepressjournal.in

A young man named Arun was working in a field when a snake hiding in a sack of hay bit him.

The bite made him very sick, and his older brother Akash rushed him to the hospital.

But the poison from the bite made Arun very sleepy and his eyes kept closing.

The doctors told the family they had to keep Arun awake while they treated him.

So Akash stayed by his brother's side and gently slapped his face, over 150 times in one hour, every time Arun started to fall asleep.

This helped keep Arun from losing consciousness.

The doctors also gave Arun 15 special injections called anti-venom to fight the snake's poison.

Thanks to the doctors' treatment and his brother's help, Arun eventually got better and survived the dangerous situation.
