5. Prevent snake bites
According to these characteristics of snakes, when we walk in the wild, in order to prevent being suddenly attacked by snakes, the usual practices are as follows:
1, when walking as far as possible to make a sound, it is best to find a stick while walking while slapping the grass.
This way it will be far away when it feels your breath and the ground and air around it. The body pattern of the snake determines that the snake is good at camouflage, and usually ninety percent of the snake injuries are due to people inadvertently stepping on the snake, or violating its territory, and then suddenly bitten by the snake.

[4] Bitten by a snake
What to do if you are unfortunate enough to be bitten by a snake in outdoor activities, let's introduce the treatment method after the snake bite.
After being bitten by a snake, first of all, do not panic, do not shout, shouting will only accelerate the blood circulation in the body, if the snake will only let the venom spread rapidly in the body. Carefully examine the wound and remove the snake tooth as soon as possible if there are any remaining snake teeth. The way to determine whether it is a venomous snake bite after being bitten by a snake is to look at the tooth marks on the wound. The wound after a non-venomous snake bite is a row of fine tooth marks, and the wound after a venomous snake bite is two red tooth marks, or two red tooth marks and a row of small tooth marks.
Whether it is a venomous snake bite or not, after being bitten by a snake, it is necessary to bundle it in a place close to the centrifuge in time, and let go for 1-2 minutes every 15-30 minutes to let the blood flow back, otherwise it is easy to cause tissue ischemia and necrosis.
Usually, symptoms after a venomous snake bite do not appear until 20-30 minutes later. 20 minutes after the neurological poisonous snake bite wound pain, tingling, eyelid drooping, blurred vision, sweating, nausea, vomiting, etc., 20 minutes after the blood-toxic venomous snake bite, the wound is severely painful, swollen and black, bleeding, for a long time, local blisters, pustules, etc., mixed toxic venomous snake bite 20 minutes after the bite, at the same time have the above symptoms. Therefore, after 30 minutes of bundling, the wound should be opened, and the tooth mark should be opened with a detoxified knife so that the poisonous blood in the body can flow out, or the ants can be sucked on the wound with an ant or a suction device. Many people recommend sucking the venom out of their mouths, but don't try this method easily unless you have to. The venom is aspirated with the mouth, which may cause the person who sucked the venom to also be severely poisoned. Because none of us can guarantee that there will be no wounds in our mouths. At this time, if conditions permit, you can use ants to suck snake venom.
After the venom is aspirated and the symptoms of the injured person are relieved, it is necessary to apply snake medicine to the wound as soon as possible. Usually, the place where the poisonous snake appears is accompanied by detoxifying herbs, but this requires us to carefully identify. The easiest and most effective way to do this is to put a box of snake medicine in your first aid kit before leaving the house. At this time, it is necessary to go to the nearby hospital as soon as possible for medical treatment and timely injection of antivenom.
[5] Snake catch
Snake catching is a technical activity, and should not be attempted easily without determining the type of snake and not understanding the habits of snakes. Because some snakes can not only inject venom through their teeth, but also spray venom directly, the best thing to do when encountering an uncertain snake during outdoor activities is to avoid it. In some extreme cases, you can try the following methods when you need to catch a snake. (Note: This method is only suitable for catching small, less aggressive snakes.) You can use snake-catching pliers, or snake-catching nets.
If you don't have the above professional tools, find a branch with a forked top around, and the branch should be thick enough to control the snake. Speaking of the top two branches broken to the length of two knuckles, so that the branches are made into forks, after finding the snake, from the snake's head and body junction part of a fork, and then hold the snake's head with your hand to prevent the snake from opening its mouth, releasing venom, biting, the other hand grasping the tail of the snake, preventing the snake's tail from wrapping around the arm.
