Snake wine is a very common kind of wine in our lives, especially in rural areas, many people are keen to catch snakes to make wine, thinking that snake wine is a very good medicine, such as arthritis has a miraculous effect, but also can treat migraines, strokes and other diseases, and even aphrodisiac effect. In fact, snake bubble wine is just a folk saying, in fact, there is no scientific basis, casually drinking snake wine may actually bring serious side effects.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > the more poisonous the snake, the more replenished the wine? </h1>
Chinese there is an old saying called to attack the poison with poison, the toxin of the poisonous snake is generally organic matter, and the main component of the wine is ethanol, according to the principle of similar solubility, the structurally similar solute and the solvent will be mutually soluble with each other, so the toxin can be dissolved into the wine to become a non-toxic substance. This is also why most people who drink snake wine do not get poisoned. However, the more poisonous the snake, the more replenishing it is made up with the wine it brews? Can all the snake-soaked wine be drunk?
Cobras and bamboo leaf green are more common to us, there are snakes containing high venom, with their brewed medicinal liquor is actually not used for internal or external use, to know that snake venom may penetrate into human skin, further affect the kidney function of the human body, and even some unknown viruses may endanger people's lives.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the tragedy caused by soaking snake wine</h1>
For people, snakes are still very dangerous as a highly poisonous creature, so it has also caused many tragedies in order to soak snake wine. For example, in 2009, a Hubei person bought a red chain snake to go home to brew wine, but he did not expect to soak in more than 50 degrees of spirits for two months, and when he opened the cork, the snake directly came out and bit the person. Fortunately, the red chain snake was only a slightly poisonous creature, and the person was only bitten by the hand, and after timely treatment, fortunately there was no danger to life.
In fact, people will not only be bitten by snakes when catching snakes, but also very likely to be bitten by live snakes when soaking snakes, which is not uncommon.

On the earth, the snake is a relatively widely distributed organism, they live in different environments, although the snakes that survive in China are not as large and dangerous as the snakes in the Amazon rainforest, but there are still many dangerous creatures.
For humans, the role of snakes in the ecological balance is very large, such as snakes that live near residential areas, they will feed on rats, so that the surrounding food chain is complete. Under normal circumstances, unless it is a hungry snake, if everyone keeps a distance from the snake, the snake will not take the initiative to attack.
But in the sealed jar, the snake must have felt insecure and was very aggressive when the jar was opened. So the question is, why has the snake not died after soaking in the wine for so long?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > why didn't the snake in the vat die?</h1>
In the absence of oxygen, why have these snakes, which have been soaking in wine for months, not died?
If the alcohol concentration of the bubble snake is not high enough, it will trigger the snake's own protective mechanism, and the snake will not die in a short period of time. You must know that snakes are cold-blooded animals that can hibernate, and in that extreme environment, they can greatly reduce the energy consumption of their own bodies and provide energy for their own survival.
Secondly, the biggest problem with the snake not dying in the snake bubble wine is that the sealing is not enough, and even the snake cannot survive for too long under the condition of lack of oxygen. Although soaked in alcohol, the snake did not die so quickly, and it was constantly transported with oxygen, and the snake could survive for a long time as long as it lowered its metabolism.
That is to say, when the snake brews wine, if the jar of the wine is not fully sealed, then even after several years, it is possible that the snake soaked inside is still alive.
Snake wine is already old crap, nothing to be blind, friends.
