When it comes to poisonous snakes, I believe that the first thing that many friends think of will be "cobras", however, in the mainland territory, the most poisonous snakes on land are a snake-like creature that looks inconspicuous, they are silver ring snakes that have been "flying" overnight after biting people in 2019.
So, what exactly is the Silver Ring Snake and how powerful is it?
In July 2018, there was a news that "the online shopping pet snake was bitten to death", which attracted the attention of many friends, in this news, the snake that bit the girl was the silver ring snake.
Subsequently, in the reporter's investigation, it was found that at that time, there were many sellers on the Internet, all of whom were selling silver ring snakes as pets, indicating that although this snake was poisonous, it was not so toxic, and the temperament was still very mild, it would not bite easily, and many people who liked to raise snakes as pets would also buy and raise them.
The girl who was about to die by the silver ring snake was one of them. In the mainland, in fact, the silver ring snake belongs to the three protected animals, which is prohibited from illegal trade, naturally, these silver ring snakes from unknown sources, sold on the Internet, are also illegal transactions and need to be strictly investigated.
So, how poisonous is the silver-ringed snake? Let's look at another example. In June 2019, a young man in Shaanxi, accidentally bitten by a silver ring snake, needed to be immediately injected with "anti-silver ring snake venom serum" to save his life, but the local hospital did not have this life-saving drug, and finally this matter was learned by an expert engaged in snake research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and went to Shaanxi overnight, and finally rescued the man from the hands of the "God of Death".
As the most venomous snake on the mainland land, after being bitten by the silver ring snake, if it is not treated in time, then, in a few hours, there will be symptoms of respiratory failure, and there is a risk of death at any time, and according to the data, only 0.08 mg of silver ring snake venom is needed, then, it can make people die.
And from the perspective of the world, the silver ring snake is also one of the four major poisonous snakes in the world, even in the comprehensive ranking of the poisonous snake, the silver ring snake is also considered to be highly poisonous and ranks in the top eight positions, naturally, we can not underestimate the silver ring snake.
So why is the silver-ringed snake not as famous as the cobra?
Speaking of which, in the mainland, the distribution of silver ring snakes is still very wide, but although they are highly poisonous, they are not easy to hurt people, as we mentioned above, some of the illegal sales of silver ring snakes on the Internet, once said that the character of silver ring snakes is very mild, the answer is indeed true, although the silver ring snake is highly poisonous, but it is naturally timid, only in very special circumstances, it will attack people.
Naturally, because there are not many bites from the silver ring snake, the silver ring snake is not as famous as the cobra. In addition, because after the silver ring snake bites a person, if it is in the case of inattention, and the bite site is less perceptible, at the beginning, the patient does not feel pain, which will also make some people bite, wait until they find that they have been bitten, in fact, the best treatment period has been delayed.
So, in general, in the wild, in that case, it is easy to encounter a silver ring snake? Silver ring snake is a kind of poisonous snake that prefers to eat "fish", they like to be at the water's edge in the summer, therefore, for people who like to fish in the spring and summer, it is also easier to encounter silver ring snakes, here, but also remind everyone that if there is a silver ring snake in the local area, you must be careful to prevent accidents.
So, what is the most venomous snake in the world?
In the world, the most poisonous snake, is the "inland Taipan snake", the study found that this body length of less than 2 meters of venomous snake, a spray of venom, can easily kill 200,000 rats, it is conceivable, if people encounter them, basically killed on the spot.
However, in the mainland territory, there is no distribution of this snake, because it mainly lives in desert areas, the distribution site is mainly concentrated in the desert of central Australia, and like the silver ring snake, the inland Taipan snake is also a more "shy" poisonous snake, normally speaking, they will not easily hurt people.
In the mainland, in addition to the silver ring snake, there are more powerful poisonous snakes, that is, the familiar "five-step snake" and "king cobra", they are also widely distributed poisonous snakes, especially the king cobra, because of the fierce temperament, so they are also one of the most dangerous poisonous snakes in the mainland, everyone must stay away in daily life.
So, what if the wild is really accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake? In this case, the first thing to do is to calm down, and stick to the wound near the side of the heart, and at the same time, rinse with a lot of water, or soapy water, normal saline, go to the nearest hospital for medical treatment, or wait for rescue in the same place.
In addition, it is also necessary to accurately describe the appearance of the venomous snake that bites itself, so that the medication can be used accurately and the best time for treatment will not be delayed.
