When his health deteriorated, he first went to the hospital.
Shortly after making the video, Salim’s health suddenly started deteriorating. The family members first resorted to exorcism instead of taking him to the hospital, but when there was no improvement, they took him to a nearby community health centre. The doctors there referred him to the district hospital after first aid. It is a matter of relief that according to the doctors, now his condition is better than before and he is slowly recovering.
Doctors gave a big warning
According to media reports, Dr. Shubham Chikara, Medical Officer of the Community Health Center, said that it is not at all wise to risk your life for likes and views on social media. He appealed to the people to avoid doing such dangerous stunts. Experts say that even after the snake is dead, it is not safe to touch it with bare hands or come in contact with it. A dead snake may contain harmful bacteria and in some cases its nerve response may persist for some time even after death. Therefore, instead of raising such creatures yourself, help from trained people should be taken.

Many people said that such videos have a negative impact on the youth and such stunts should not be encouraged.
