Bamboo leaf green is a pipe tooth venomous snake of the genus Green Snake of the Viper family, so it is the same as the five-step snake, soldering iron head and other poisonous snakes, relying on its own tube teeth, you can inject the venom into the animal's body through the syringe-like teeth, without wasting a single bit, and the injection speed is very fast. 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.
And the toxicity of bamboo leaf green is more than that of the five-step snake, of which the most toxic white-lipped bamboo leaf green, its toxicity is about 20 times that of the five-step snake, even if it is the weakest fujian bamboo leaf green, it is also 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.
Fortunately, unlike the average tube-toothed venomous snake, their detoxification is a shame for vipers. Among them, the detoxification volume of white-lipped bamboo leaf green is one-tenth of that of the five-step snake, only 17 mg, while Fujian bamboo leaf green is even less, averaging only 8 mg. Therefore, although their toxicity is fierce, because the dose of venom is too small, the probability of biting people is not high. However, bamboo leaf green is widely distributed, so it is also common to be bitten by them.

If you are bitten by bamboo leaf green, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you go to the anti-snake venom serum in time, basically there is no big problem. However, do not exercise vigorously, because it is easy to let the venom spread throughout the body with the blood flow. Don't learn to suck the snake venom out of the mouth in the TV series, if you have a mouth ulcer or the like in your mouth, the venom is likely to enter the human body along these wounds, which is equivalent to taking poison.
And be sure to stay calm and call the hospital for help as soon as possible. Immediately tie the wound above (near the heart) with a hand towel, cloth strip, bandage, etc. to prevent the spread of venom. But do not tie too tightly, too tight if it is easy to affect blood circulation and cause tissue necrosis, it is advisable to be able to force a finger. There are many people who are afraid, resulting in tying their hands and feet tightly, and as a result, the snake venom does not do anything to people, and they all necroticize the tissues they have made.
At the same time, you can make a longitudinal incision along the tooth marks of 1.5cm, deep into the skin, or make a "cross-shaped" incision, and squeeze by hand from the proximal end to the periphery of the distal end of the wound, so that the poisonous blood is discharged, and the wound is rinsed with cold water, soapy water, salt water, etc. If there is 0.05% potassium permanganate solution or 3% hydrogen peroxide at home, it is better to rinse with these. But remember to dial 120 in time to send to the hospital for treatment, anti-snake venom.
So bamboo leaf green is not only poisonous, but also highly poisonous, if it is only Fujian bamboo leaf green is fine, but if it is white-lipped bamboo leaf green, it is more dangerous than the five-step snake, everyone should pay attention to the surrounding environment when going out.
