Bigg Boss Fame Elvish Yadav's Arrest: What Is Snake Venom Addiction?
On Sunday (March 17), social media influencer and Bigg Boss OTT winner Elvish Yadav was arrested for allegedly arranging 'snake venom' at rave parties at Noida. But what has venom to do with parties, you may wonder.
Interestingly, it is a recreational drug used by many at rave parties and those interested in the drug deliberately expose themselves to it for experiencing its supposedly euphoric effects on their bodies. Yes, it can be deadly and unpredictable as well, and can even result in long-lasting psychological damage.
Types of venomsA few might argue that the venoms are used even for medicinal purposes, but that doesn't mean that their unsupervised use as a recreational drug is therefore safe. Many experts say the risks far outweigh any benefits users might experience. There are four types of snake venoms used in parties - Neurotoxic venoms that have an effect similar to opioids, Hematoxic venoms that apparently give temporary pain relief, Cytotoxic venoms and Cardiotoxic venoms. All of them can be extremely dangerous and lead to various health issues and even death. It's also important to note that using snake venom for recreational purposes is illegal in India.
Treating the addictionJust like any other drug abuse, snake venom addiction will also have to be treated following a comprehensive approach that addresses both the psychological and physical effects of the condition. A combination of medical detoxification processes, monitoring and treatment for tissue damage and organ dysfunctions, behavioural therapies, participation in support groups and aftercare planning is required to treat individuals struggling with the addiction.

Michael 'Venom' Page Is Ready To Put On A Show In The UFC
After spending a decade in Bellator, Michael "Venom" Page's jump to the UFC came with plenty of question marks. His win wasn't spectacular, but his debut at UFC 299 against Kevin Holland served its purpose in moving him up the rankings.
For others, a win in their UFC debut may mean a great deal. For MVP, it was the first step in his journey toward UFC glory.
"This is something that I've envisioned. I saw how it would go. Not getting the knockout is the only thing that I think didn't go the way I wanted it to go. But everything else was according to plan," MVP tells Uproxx Sports. "So I think it just means more for everybody else, 'cause there's always been that question mark on my standard and can I hang in the UFC at the top level? So yeah, I'm just living my normal MVP life."
Despite the fight going a full three rounds to decision, MVP is ready to get back out there as quickly as possibly. He doesn't have a target opponent, but says he wants to keep moving up the rankings. Ideally, that starts with an appearance on the England show coming up in July. And if everything goes to plan, he'd also like to be on the September card in Vegas.
"The goal is a couple of big wins and then go for that shiny gold belt at the top," MVP continues. "A step up is a step up. So whoever's ranked higher than me, I go for those people, those names, tick them off and then do the same thing again until the UFC are like, no, it's time for this guy to get up."
While MVP's performance may not have wowed in terms of getting a finish, his entrance stole headlines when he took a page out of WWE legend The Undertaker's book. He hasn't been as much into WWE in its current state, but admits he was a big fan of the Attitude Era, with many of the legends of the pro wrestling world inspiring him to this day.
"As much as I was known, I'm a bit unknown with regards to the question mark of, can he do this at the UFC level? Kevin Holland stepped up to approach somebody that is that unknown. So I wanted to come in with that kind of scary approach," MVP says. "And that's why I wanted to pick Undertaker. It worked out. I think people enjoyed it. They would definitely have enjoyed it even more so if I was able to execute the full walkout."
The full walkout he pitched included the lights going dark, his brother functioning as a body double of MVP in the Octagon, the lights going dark, and him appearing in the tunnel. Usually as he gets closer to fight night, he'll get inspiration, often working with his family about what he can do next. While much of his pitched entrance was shot down, he was still able to achieve his goal of wowing the audience and putting on an entertaining evening.
"Obviously (the UFC is) not used to doing things like that, a little bit of a pushback. But I think now that they've seen me, seen what it's done, they may allow me to be a little bit more expressive," MVP says.
"They understand that I've got a really creative mind and I really envision the whole picture versus just the fight. I think when the UFC wanted to acquire me, they would have known that it would have come with me wanting to do those type of things and me wanting to be a bit grateful in those moments as well. So I think eventually they'll give me a little bit more freedom."
