The bottom of this is the small snake that crawled to the courtyard of a friend's house a few days ago and was shot to death, and when he saw the snake, he also specifically asked the old man how to deal with it, afraid of what taboos there were.
Yes, after the Qingming Festival, the weather began to warm up, and the snakes also woke up from hibernation and began to come out to forage. Whether in the countryside or in the city, they appear in the figure, and they inevitably meet people.
Uncle Huang, who is in his seventies in Guangxi, works in his own fields as usual. Suddenly, a large two-meter-long black snake came out from the side, and before Uncle Huang could react, the black snake had already bitten on The thumb of Uncle Huang's left hand.
Uncle Huang recognized at a glance that the snake was a king cobra containing severe poison, so he immediately tied his left wrist tightly with a rope. Nevertheless, after half an hour, the left hand swelled up and began to show dizziness, fever and other symptoms.
At two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Uncle Huang rushed to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University for emergency rescue under the escort of traffic police. Fortunately, after a series of rescues such as antivenom, Uncle Huang was out of danger and could go home to recuperate.
Aunt Wang of Huizhou City was picking vegetables in her own vegetable garden, and a tingling pain came from her hand, and she found a bamboo leaf green biting on her hand. Aunt Wang immediately threw away her arm in panic, and the snake quickly fled.
At first, Aunt Wang did not feel the pain, and did not pay too much attention, simply squeezed out the poisonous blood and washed it with water, and then rode to the nearby hospital for medical treatment.
But over time, Aunt Wang's hands began to swell, from the bitten finger to the entire arm turned blue-black.
Aunt Wang realized the seriousness of the matter, hurriedly called 120, and then went to the Shenzhen Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has a snake injury specialty. After a day of treatment, symptoms such as swelling of the arm, pain, and numbness in the limbs gradually improved.
Today, we will do a science popularization for "poisonous snakes".
How to distinguish between a venomous snake and a non-venomous snake?
According to The Reotile Database, there are 3425 species of snakes in the world and 241 species of domestic equipment. Of course, with the deepening of field investigations, the records of Snakes in China are constantly being refreshed.
It should be known that there are more than 40 kinds of domestic venomous snakes, of which there are also more than ten kinds of highly poisonous snakes, such as the king cobra and the viper mentioned in the text.
The viper is a five-step snake that often appears in film and television dramas, and the five-step snake is not a five-step death, but is bitten by it, and if there is no medical treatment, people will die within 30 minutes-3 hours.
Distinguishing between poisonous snakes is not an easy task.
1. First of all, the clichéd point is that the triangular head is a poisonous snake.
Under normal circumstances, the head of the poisonous snake is relatively large, triangular, like the five-step snake, pit viper, bamboo leaf green are triangular heads.
But it should be noted that it is not that the triangular head is not poisonous. For example, the silver ring snake, this product is not a triangular head, but it is highly poisonous.
2. The pattern color of the snake
As the old saying goes, the prettier the more dangerous it is, and the same is true for snakes. The more vivid the pattern and the darker the color of the snake, the more poisonous it is.
For example, the white-lipped bamboo leaf is green and shiny, and it is a fierce guy at first glance. So if you see a brightly colored snake in the distance, leaving is the best choice, don't try to provoke it.
3. The tail of the snake
The tail of the venomous snake is relatively short, and it suddenly becomes thinner behind the anus, and the markings are prominent. Non-venomous snakes have a longer tail and gradually thin after cloacalysis.
4. Look at the guts of the snake
This is actually to see if the snake is aggressive.
The general non-venomous snake has relatively small courage and will immediately run away when it encounters humans. And the poisonous snake will not, with active aggression, often curled, usually like to curl lurking, waiting for the opportunity to move. Usually crawls slowly and calmly, but after catching prey or receiving threats, crawling fast and attacking fast and accurate.
5. Tooth marks after being bitten
The most fundamental difference between a venomous snake and a non-venomous snake is the poisonous tooth, so you can judge whether it is a venomous snake based on the tooth marks after being bitten.
If it is a venomous snake, there must be a tooth mark of one or a pair of poisonous teeth, corresponding to one or a pair of small holes in the skin. The non-venomous snake is two rows of tiny tooth marks.
Hopefully, you'll never use that.
Mistakes after being bitten by a snake
1. Small snakes are not poisonous
Newborn snakes are not poisonous?
You know, in some cases, the newly hatched small snake can be crushed into a snake in terms of venom. Large snakes prey frequently and inject less venom when biting. Conversely, hatched small snakes prey less and inject relatively more venom when biting.
Small body size is less toxic?
Snakes are different in species and have different venoms, such as the silver-ringed snake is usually small in size, but its venom is extremely poisonous.
Venom of snakes
2. If there is no response after being bitten by a snake for ten minutes, it must be a non-venomous snake
Neurotoxin damage occurs after 1 to 6 hours.
For example, a child admitted to the Fujian Affiliated Hospital was bitten by a silver ring snake, and only developed symptoms after 4 hours, and later rescued by all parties, he was still in a coma for more than a week before waking up.
3. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, your life is gone
Non-venomous snakes in the wild account for the majority, and people who are bitten by non-venomous snakes often have severe pain, redness and swelling of the wounds and even fainting due to excessive tension and panic.
When a venomous snake bites a person, it does not necessarily inject a sufficient amount of venom into the human body, and only a small part of the people bitten by the venomous snake are more seriously poisoned, and some people are in danger of life.
Emergency measures after being bitten by a snake
After being bitten by a snake, every second counts, so self-help measures are crucial.
1. Keep calm, first determine whether the bite is a poisonous snake, and avoid moving
First of all, through the appearance of the wound and the appearance of the snake, it is determined whether the bite is a poisonous snake. It takes time for snake venom to spread, so avoid unnecessary movements to prevent snake venom from accelerating its spread.
2. Timely bandaging
Take local materials and tie the wound with a rope in the direction of the heart. Strapping must be done quickly and within 2-5 minutes. But remember, every 30 minutes, relax for 1.2 minutes to prevent necrosis of the limb due to obstruction of blood circulation.
3. Wound detoxification
If there is a condition on the spot, use a large amount of water and soapy water to rinse the wound and nearby skin, and when cleaning, you can squeeze from the proximal end to the wound to promote the discharge of venom from the wound.
Second, avoid using the mouth to take drugs, because the venom will enter the human body along the wound in the mouth, and no one can guarantee that their mouth is intact.
4. Confirm the species of snake
See the length of the snake, the shape of the head, the pattern and other important information, if conditions permit, you can quickly take a photo with your mobile phone. Describe it to the doctor after the doctor's treatment, so that the doctor can carry out targeted treatment.
5. Dial 120 in time to go to the hospital for medical treatment
Whether it is poisonous or not, being bitten is not a trivial matter, it must not be taken lightly, and going to the hospital for treatment is the safest way.
Write at the end
The weather is warmer, outdoor athletes are in action, and parents are willing to take their children to the park to play.
When playing, try not to get close to the dense places of the bushes, it is best to wear long pants, rubber shoes, tie the pants tightly, you can bring a long stick, and when you walk to some bushes and grasses, you can use it to explore the way.
It is said that the weakness of the snake is seven inches, and when the snake hits seven inches, you can't do this. Detour slowly or back, and don't bet your life.
