<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > what is bamboo leaf green</h1>
Bamboo leaf green, also known as green bamboo snake, scorched tail, red tail green, etc., is one of the common poisonous snakes in China. This snake is very beautiful, the body is emerald green, the head is triangular, and the tail is partially red, so many people raise it as a pet, of course, the poisonous snake as a pet will generally get rid of the venom glands. Their distribution range is very wide, in the south of China can basically see the figure of bamboo leaf green, they like to live in mountain woods or wet mountain streams next to the weeds, bamboo forest.
Bamboo leaf green is a nocturnal snake, generally preyed at night, they mainly eat frogs, lizards, birds and other small animals, so in the city, they always appear in the grass on the side of the road at night, green vegetation can make them perfectly hidden from detection. This snake is very powerful, it can eat for more than 5 months after eating, but it is still healthy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > how toxic bamboo leaf green is</h1>
Bamboo leaf green, like the five-step snake, soldering iron head and other venomous snakes are pipe tooth venomous snakes, they rely on their own tube teeth can quickly inject the venom from the venom glands into the body of the prey. The snake venom of Bamboo Leaf Green is similar to that of the five-step snake, and both contain blood toxins, so after being bitten by it, it will be extremely painful, have a strong burning pain, and also endanger the human heart and blood vessels. After the same general bamboo leaf green bite, doctors mostly use anti-pit viper serum.
However, from the perspective of fierce toxicity alone, the toxicity of bamboo leaf green is much more than that of the five-step snake. Among them, the most toxic white-lipped bamboo leaf green, its toxicity is about 20 times that of the five-step snake, even the weakest fujian bamboo leaf green, it is about 3 times that of the five-step snake, so its toxicity is still very fierce. After being attacked by it, people will soon develop symptoms of poisoning such as nausea and abdominal pain.
But any poison that is not done in sufficient doses cannot cause too much harm, and the same is true for Bamboo Leaf Qing. Although it is a tooth-toothed venomous snake, its detoxification is pitifully small, which is a shame for the viper family. Among them, the detoxification amount of white-lipped bamboo leaf green is only 17 mg, and the Fujian bamboo leaf green is even less, with an average of only 8 mg. The average detoxification of five-step snakes is 176 mg, a difference of dozens of times between the two, so although their toxicity is fierce, the probability of biting people is not high due to the small dose of venom. However, bamboo leaf green is widely distributed, so it is also common to be bitten by them.

A patient in Beihai City, Guangxi Province, took a break from a smoking cigarette in the smoking area downstairs while resting in a dormitory of a unit on Weizhou Island. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the dormitory, he actually sprang out of the roadside flower bed and bit him. That night, the man was sent to the local health center for emergency treatment. The next day, back in Beihai, he went to the Municipal People's Hospital for treatment, when the patient's bite had already appeared significant swelling.
In Shanghai, a young man was actually bitten by Zhu Yeqing while riding a bicycle. At that time, the boy was preparing to ride to work, and he saw that the seat was a little high, so he thought about adjusting it, who knew that there was a poisonous snake hidden under the cushion. The guy was bitten as soon as he reached over.
Subsequently, he immediately squeezed the wound, squeezed out the poisonous blood, and asked someone to help kill the poisonous snake, remembering the characteristics of the poisonous snake, the boy immediately rushed to the hospital for treatment. After treatment, the guy's condition slowly improved, but the doctor said it might take another week to be discharged.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > why there are so few antivenoms</h1>
We can often see that some patients go to the hospital and find that there is no antivenom in the hospital. A man in Suzhou was accidentally bitten by a snake when he "brewed wine with a viper", and finally died of organ failure because the hospital did not have a corresponding antivenom serum. Why? Shouldn't this life-saving thing be available in hospitals? There are many reasons for this.
The production process of antivenom is complex, time-consuming, small in volume and short in shelf life. To obtain antivenom, snake venom is first collected, then the snake venom is frozen and dried into a powder, and injected into the body of the experimental horse in batches at doses from low to high. When a certain dose is injected, the horse serum is mixed with snake venom and injected into the mouse, and if the mouse is still alive, there are enough antibodies.
About ten liters of horse blood are then collected, plasma and blood cells are separated, and the blood cells are re-transfused back into the horse's body, and the plasma is purified to be the antivenom stock solution we need. Generally speaking, it takes 9 months to make an antivenom, and the shelf life of the drug is only 3 years or less. High cost, low profit, naturally less production. Take bamboo leaf green, the domestic special bamboo leaf green serum is very small, generally with anti-pit viper serum for treatment, on this some hospitals have not yet, can only be provincial and municipal hospitals can be possible.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" what to do if you are bitten by a poisonous snake ></h1>
We said earlier that some hospitals do not have a relatively rare antivenom, so after being bitten, we need to recognize what snake is biting, even if we don't know, we must remember the corresponding appearance characteristics, so that after arriving at the hospital, the doctor can give you the matching antivenom for the first time.
So before going to the hospital, we can call the hospital to ask if there is a corresponding antivenom, so as not to run in vain and waste the best rescue time. After being bitten, do not panic, although the poisonous snake is very poisonous, but it will not be killed immediately, after the silver ring snake bite, the time of toxin attack is 40 minutes -2 hours, the death rate after the king cobra bite is as high as 60%, and the fastest will not die within half an hour. Although Zhuyeqing is one of the top ten poisonous snakes in China, the probability of death caused by the venom of Zhuyeqing is only 1%, and the fatality rate is extremely low.
So the most important thing is to stay calm and not to exercise vigorously, so as not to speed up blood circulation and let the venom spread faster. The proximal end of the wound, that is, the wound near the end of the heart, can be temporarily ligated to avoid the spread of snake venom to the whole body, causing symptoms of systemic poisoning. After ligation, the wound is then quickly cleaned and the wound is rinsed with clean water, such as mineral water, pure water, etc.
Remember, if you are bitten by a snake, you must go to the hospital for treatment, don't feel that you can handle it, many people don't go to the hospital because they simply dealt with snake venom, and then they died directly. The bamboo leaf green that appeared this time is indeed very surprising, after all, this is a downtown not a mountainous area, and experts also said that this is the first time that bamboo leaf green has been found in the city, and it is not known how it ran over.
However, if you encounter bamboo leaf green, people do not provoke you, we do not kill it at will, after all, it is included in the "List of Terrestrial Wild Animals with Important Ecological, Scientific and Social Values Protected by the State", which belongs to the national "three haves" protected animals, and it is fined for unprovoked injury.
