Of course, if the cultivation is not enough, it may also be counterproductive.

The world will always punish those who are half-hearted.
After all, these accidents are still small, sometimes the hand is shaken, and fishing will hurt the man very deeply...
Let's look at a few tragic cases.
Mr. Wang, I don't go home to sleep at night, I have to go fishing with my friends.
Seeing the fish floating, I thought the fish was hooked and quickly closed the line. How can the fish not bite the hook, the fish hook instead "bite" on their eyebrows.
Mr. Wang and his friends tried unsuccessfully to tear it off, so they had to go to the hospital to see the emergency department.
The doctor's examination found that the fish hook was pierced under the skin of the eyebrow tip, fortunately it did not hurt the eyeball.
After cutting open the skin to enlarge the wound and exposing the barbs of the fish hook, the doctor successfully removed the injured fish hook and debride the wound.
Mr. Liu, who also likes night fishing, when the fish hook is stuck on the eyeball, the eye pain is incomparable, and he immediately came to the ophthalmologist for treatment.
Examination revealed that the hook pierced through the edge of the cornea and penetrated from the central area of the cornea.
The doctor immediately performed general anesthesia on him, trying to break the barb at the tip of the hook and remove the hook again, but without success. In the end, the cornea had to be cut open before the hook was removed.
Mr. Li, still fishing at night, but with upgraded equipment, fishing with anchor fish hooks. As a result, the fish did not anchor, but anchored their eyes.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors were shocked: a huge anchor fish hook pierced the eyeball, causing massive bleeding and a noticeable decrease in vision.
The emergency doctor quickly removed the fish hook for him and sutured the eyeball wound.
However, several surgeries are required later to treat the blood, infection, cataracts and retinal detachment in the eye in stages. But even if the doctor actively treated it, Mr. Li's injured eye could not restore its previous vision.
Seeing this, do you still dare to wield a fishing rod in a dashing manner?
In fact, fishing is very good, you can breathe fresh air, relax the tense mood. But be sure to pay attention to the following 5 points:
1. Fishing during the day, need to protect against ultraviolet rays
Wear a fishing hat to prevent direct sunlight from hitting the eyes; when the light is strong, it is recommended to wear fishing glasses, which can protect the eyes and reduce eye fatigue.
In the summer, you should also pay attention to the heat protection and cooling, and bring a sun umbrella and water with you.
2. Rest your eyes a lot
Fishing requires a long time to stare at the floating, the reflection of the water surface during the day, coupled with the fact that the river and lake are usually windy, it is easy to dry eyes, tears in the wind, and can't see things clearly for a long time.
At this time, close your eyes and rest, or apply warm compresses or use artificial tears to moisturize your eyes.
3. Fishing at night, pay more attention to safety
Lack of light at night, affecting the ability to judge, pay attention to the trajectory of the fish hook when throwing the rod and closing the line, and avoid hurting yourself or others.
Of course, it's best not to run around the edge of a complex water system.
4. Pay attention to hand hygiene
Hands that catch fish and bait, do not rub your eyes before washing them to avoid intraocular infections.
5. Don't deal with accidents yourself
There are barbs at the tip of the hook, once the eye or other parts are hooked, do not pull out forcefully, so as not to cause more serious damage, infection or even blindness.
Go to the hospital in time for professional examination and treatment by the doctor.
Remember these points and have fun fishing!
