Madhya Pradesh: Govt doctors save 3-year-old from deadly snakebite with 40 doses of anti-venom
BHOPAL: Doctors at a government hospital in Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh saved a three-year-old girl who was bitten three times by a krait snake in a single night — just two days after a snake of the same species killed a woman from Shivpuri and her two children in neighbouring Rajasthan. The girl, Kanchan Kol of Pipariya village in Sohagpur, was sleeping on the floor beside her grandmother when the venomous snake bit her left elbow several times. Within minutes, her body went numb and she was gasping for breath. She was rushed to the district hospital in critical condition and immediately placed on ventilator support. Over the next 24 hours, doctors administered 40 doses of anti-venom to counter the fast-spreading neurotoxic poison. Despite the absence of super-speciality facilities, the medical team persisted, according to local media reports. Kanchan remained on a ventilator for 11 days and under observation for another nine. By the 15th day, she was able to take food and milk on her own, and her voice — silenced by the venom — began to return. She was discharged on Thursday. Doctors described it as the most complicated snakebite case of the year in Shahdol, with survival chances extremely slim. Her parents, Krishna and Gayatri Kol, said the doctors' efforts had given their daughter 'a new life.' Snake experts point out that the Common Krait is one of the deadliest snakes. Anganwadi worker dies of snakebite in Guna In a separate incident, a 55-year-old woman died after being bitten by a snake while collecting grass in a field in Chandan Khiriya village of Guna district on Thursday morning. The deceased, identified as Kala Bai Nat, was an Anganwadi worker. According to family members, she had gone to the field around 6.30 am when a snake bit her on the hand. Hearing her screams, relatives rushed to the spot and took her to the district hospital, where doctors declared her brought dead. Police said a post-mortem was conducted and the body was handed over to the family. Dharnavada police have registered a case and started an investigation. Family members said she had gone alone to the field while others were asleep on the roof. They heard her cries and took her to hospital, but she died on the way.

Why is skin cycling worth the hype? A fresh spin on skincare
(Image Credits: Pinterest) If you're too active on TikTok and YouTube, you must have heard or seen videos of skin cycling. This is the latest viral beauty trend that calls for alternating the products available in your nighttime regimen. Skin cycling has you switch out active ingredients, so you may avoid over-exfoliation and potential irritation issues as well. But is it worth all the hype, or is it just another flashy name trend with basic skin hygiene? Let's dig deep and understand the meaning and benefits of this beauty trend. What is skin cycling ? Skin cycling is a systematic way to apply your evening skincare ingredients, which mainly include retinoids and exfoliants, on a four-night rotation course. The concept is mainly based on respecting the skin barrier and then fostering long-term skin resilience. The standard cycle involves: (Image Credits: Pinterest) Night 1: Exfoliation and resurfacing Night 2: Retinoid Nights 3 and 4: Recovery and repair. (You can just repeat this cycle.) The primary aim is to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation, which happens with multiple active layers of product, which the skin ultimately cannot adapt to. Skin cycling involves deliberate rest days to strengthen the skin's barrier and thus helps in clear skin promotion without causing inflammation. Skincare for stress and fatigue: 5 ways to revive your tired skin Explaining the science behind this routine The science behind slowing down with your skin cycling did not come with a catchy name, but it's a genuine skincare approach. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It says that our skin does not require overusing exfoliants like AHAs, BHAs, and other scrubs. Even the application of retinol and basic skincare serums like vitamin C every day is not healthy for our skin. So one can use all but one on different days, leading to decreased breakouts, sensitivity, and flakiness. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Why are people loving this? It simplifies the skincare regime and provides structure with clarity every day. This also alleviates irritation and provides a sense of relief for people who have ever had raw and overworked skin. Skin cycling further builds confidence for beginners, allowing one to plan out their regimen depending on their skin texture and requirements. This choice gives clarity without the sense of feeling overwhelmed every day. Lastly, skin cycling also aligns with your skin's biology and does not need to be pushed every night. But it allows you to be content and see the magic in letting it rest. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Happy Independence Day wishes, messages , and quotes !
