A guy in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, has stunned medical professionals by miraculously surviving five snake bites in less than two months and recovering each time following treatment. By moving in with his aunt and fleeing his house, Vikas Dubey attempted to avoid the bites. But even at her home, the attacks persisted.

On June 2, at night, Vikas Dubey was bitten by a snake as he was coming out of bed. He was admitted for two days to a private nursing home by his family. He went back home after being treated. They considered it to be a normal occurrence.

He was bitten by a snake once more a few days later, on June 10th. After receiving care at the same private nursing home, his family allowed him to return home. This time, his fear of snakes became stronger, and he began to exercise caution.

On June 17, seven days later, he was bitten by a snake at home once more, knocking him out. Vikas Dubey's family took him back to the same nursing home after this unsettling episode. He received care and eventually made a full recovery.

After Vikas Dubey was bitten a fourth time, his family insisted that he receive his care at the same nursing home. The doctors were taken aback as well this time. Nevertheless, the man got medical attention and made it through the fourth attack as well.

Vikas Dubey was then told by his physicians and relatives to avoid going home for a few days. He took their advice and moved in with his aunt in Radha Nagar, Fatehpur. But he also got bitten by a snake for the fifth time at his aunt's place.

The episode was described as "strange" by Dr. Jawahar Lal, who treated Vikas Dubey after each snake bite. Additionally, he said that after the third attack, he had advised Dubey to leave the village.

Vikas Dubey's health is stable now.
