In today's world, social media is constantly flooded with incidents that are hard to believe at first glance. A similar shocking case has emerged from the Beldanga area of Murshidabad, West Bengal. It is reported that 16-year-old Iqbal Sheikh has been spending most of his time in a pond for the past five years, instead of spending his time at home or in bed. It is claimed that he doesn't come out of the water for four to five days to a week at a stretch.
This incident has sparked considerable curiosity and concern among the public. What is the reason this teenager chooses to stay underwater for long periods of time? What kind of problems does he face when he emerges from the water, and what is the reason behind his condition? Let's find out more about this matter.
There is a burning sensation as soon as you get out of the water.
Viral news reports quote Iqbal Sheikh as saying that as soon as he emerges from the cold water of the pond, he experiences intense burning and discomfort. However, staying inside the water brings him relief and comfort.
It is reported that due to prolonged exposure to water, his skin, including his hands and feet, has turned very pale. Furthermore, he is also suffering from colds and coughs due to his constant exposure to water.
Superstition or a sign of some disease?
Iqbal and his family attribute this condition to the influence of an unseen force, a jinn, or a fairy. However, rather than such beliefs, it is more important to understand the matter from a scientific and medical perspective.
According to medical experts, this problem could be related to a skin condition, a nervous system problem, an abnormal sensitivity to body temperature, or another health issue. However, the actual cause can only be determined after a proper medical examination and expert advice.
Difficulty in getting treatment due to financial constraints
It is reported that Iqbal's family is financially very poor. Due to financial constraints, they are unable to afford treatment at a major private hospital. The family alleges that they were unable to receive adequate assistance or proper treatment from the local primary health center.
The family's difficulties have been compounded by the lack of treatment and expert medical advice. Meanwhile, local residents are stepping up to help the teenager. Some are reaching the pond's edge to provide him with biscuits and other essential food items.
