is it? 😆
There is a reason for everyone to forget.

in this episode it was necessary to say what that chemical is. Chemistry is a very important in forensic science i think. They cant avoid zoology , botony and even maths. It will make the show interesting...all the science truths.

I was a science student once 😊 and i love medical science. But i was better in maths and thus selected the eng. field. Good to have three doctors here in forum.

Dear doctors...i have a doubt. In spitting cobra episode it is shown that abhijit is free from poison. But i heard that it is impossible to recover its venum. Is it true?

Indeed, I feel that in applied science there are many points in which all these 'pure' fields come into play together. I was interested in computer engineering, but unfortunately I'm not really good at the high-level maths! 😆 Biology is more suited for me.

Regarding the spitting cobra episode... I watched it only once a long time back so can't remember the details, but I didn't get what you meant by recovering the venom? Do you mean recovering the residues of the spit from his eyes after he was attacked?

ya, how to recover that venom from eyes? I heard that the person will loss eyesight forever.

@chinnu chod na !! The episode was great !!! Thankfully nothing happened to Abhi sir !!
If these people give us a good episode then such mistakes can be ignored I guess !!

to be honest i m not that good at forensics. but i will try to explain. snakes are of 2 types venomous and nonvenomous, snake venom are of 2 types, one effecting nervous system and other effecting vascular system(heart and vessels) and for each type anti-venom is required for management. and victim of snake bite can survive and totally recover, mortality varies with case. I havent seen spitting cobra episode so sorry i have no idea what they have shown in it.

Edited: sorry i missed, some are myotoxic too(effecting muscles)

the spitting cobra is an african snake. I read it in a story. It will hang from tree top and will spit in people's eyes.
In the episode it was shown like trio walk in to a forest, snake on ground and spit on abhijit's eye. He washed his eyes , 😆 and normal from next scene itself, just a red mark near eye.

To my knowledge, if they immediately wash out the venom after it's been spit, blindness could be prevented, though there will be damage to the eyes (inflammation etc.). Cornea transplant might be needed then. But the venom is very damaging and must be removed as soon as possible. Can't remember how much time they took to do this in the episode though.

thanks friends....
Let me ask about abhijit him self. Is that possible to regain memory after a long time? He had a head injury and is there any way left....a surgery or something that help amnesia patients?

I think the cobra venom is neurotoxic (affects the nervous system), but I think this factor mainly comes into play when the venom has entered the blood. The cornea doesn't have blood supply and the venom is spit on top of it, so I think all of the kinds of toxins should be almost equally damaging to it?

Friends I guess we are going OFF TOPIC !!! It's better to continue the discussion in the Rerun-Thread
