UP Teen Claims Repeated Snake Bites; Family Seeks Answers
A teenager in a village in India says a black snake bit her 13 times in about a month.
Her family is very worried and has spent a lot of money on medical care.
They even sent her siblings away.
But the doctors aren't so sure it's real.
They think it might be a fear or a type of psychological issue.
They have also cleaned and sprayed around the house to get rid of snakes.
Some experts think it might be phobia, where the person thinks they are being bitten.
The health department is aware, but they're still looking into it.
A 15-year-old girl claims she was bitten 13 times by a snake in 40 days.
The family has spent over Rs 4 lakh on treatment and sought help from a tantrik.
The first bite was reported on July 22, 2025.
Medical professionals are skeptical, suggesting a possible psychological factor.
