The venom of the single venom is, of course, the silver ring snake. The venom of the silver ring snake is the most violent, the most powerful on the Land of Asia, and its venom is more than 80 times more toxic than that of the golden ring snake. Even if you look around the world, the venom of the silver-ringed snake can be ranked in the top eight. So in China, the silver ring snake is the most venomous, not one of them.
Silver ring snake
However, although the silver ring snake is poisonous, it is not the most powerful snake, this is because the silver ring snake is timid by nature, mild temperament, does not take the initiative to attack people or animals, even if it is caught in the hand, its first thought is how to escape, rather than bite back. Therefore, there are not many cases of being bitten by a silver-ringed snake, far less than a cobra.
Although the venom of the five-step snake is not as large as the silver ring snake, the five-step snake is large, the amount of poison sprayed is large, and the temperament is fierce, and the poisonous fangs are the longest, so when encountering a five-step snake in the wild, it is best to quickly walk away, do not provoke it, once it is bitten, it is very dangerous, and it is very likely to die. In the south of China, the five-step snake is the most sinister kind of poisonous snake, and the harm to people is far greater than that of the silver ring snake.
Five-step snake
The venom of the five-step snake is different from the venom of the silver ring snake, it is blood venom, the venom contains hemolytic toxins, and the wound will bleed after being bitten, and no method can be used to effectively stop the bleeding, unless the limb is quickly amputated. And with the operation of the venom, the wound will swell and ulcerate, the pain will be unbearable, and then the injured person will be dizzy, and then comatose. According to survey statistics, people who were bitten by a five-step snake in a certain area of Hunan Province, China, were not rescued in the end.
In fact, the name of the five-step snake is commonly known, and the folk are mostly called the hundred-step snake, but whether it is five steps or a hundred steps, it is a general exaggeration, not that it can only take five steps or a hundred steps after being bitten, but it is just a statement of the great toxicity of this poisonous snake. The scientific name of the five-step snake is the viper (the head is very pointed), which belongs to a kind of viper and is a poisonous snake unique to China. In remote mountainous areas, if you are bitten by a five-step snake, it is basically equivalent to no rescue, because the anti-snake venom is only available in the top three hospitals in big cities, and it is too late to send the injured to the hospital. Therefore, according to a survey conducted by venomous snake bites in the south of our country, more than 80% of people believe that the five-step snake is the most threatening venomous snake to humans.
Fingers bitten by a five-step snake festered and inflamed
Therefore, on the size of the venom, the silver ring snake is the first, not to mention the five-step snake, even among all the poisonous snakes on the earth's land, the silver ring snake can also rank fourth, second only to the fine-scaled Taipan snake, the eastern cobra and the Taipan snake, these three poisonous snakes are in Oceania, the rest of the world does not have. Therefore, the silver ring snake is the most venomous snake on the land outside of Oceania on earth.
However, the harm of the silver ring snake to humans is much lower than that of the five-step snake, the reason is that the silver ring snake mentioned above is timid, docile in temperament, and does not actively attack people and animals, except in special circumstances. The five-step snake is fierce, the amount of poison sprayed is large, the poisonous teeth are long, the bite wound is deep and difficult to heal, and the hemolytic toxin in the venom will interfere with the function of the coagulation factor, so that the wound bleeds non-stop, and ulcerate, swollen, blackened, even if it is timely treatment, picking up a life, it will also leave lifelong sequelae.
Silver ring snake bites tooth marks
The top ten venomous snakes in China are: silver ring snake, five-step snake, round-headed grass viper, king cobra, white-browed viper, blue flat-tailed sea snake, golden ring snake, Zhoushan cobra, bamboo leaf green and round spot viper, silver ring snake and five-step snake are listed among them.
On ferocity, the five-step snake is stronger than the silver ring snake, and on the venom, the silver ring snake is at the top of the list. But the venom of the silver ring snake belongs to the neurotoxin, more hidden, because its poisonous teeth are very small, so the wound after being bitten is not obvious, only two shallow tooth marks are presented, and there is no bleeding, in addition to feeling like being pricked by a needle, there is no other discomfort, but after half an hour, the injured person will feel sleepy, droopy eyelids, mental trance, drowsiness, indicating that the toxin has acted on the nerve tissue, at this time, the toxin in the venom of the silver ring snake acts on the nerve and muscle junction, blocking the nerve conduction route, Causing the body's rhabdomy muscles to contract normally, causing the body to breathe anesthesia, and then dying due to respiratory failure.
Patients who were bitten by a five-step snake had blackened right leg and right arm
It can be seen that the poisoning reaction caused by the silver ring snake and the five-step snake is diametrically opposite, bitten by the five-step snake, the patient reacts strongly, the wound is swollen and bleeding, the pain is intense, and the silver ring snake bite is almost painless, the wound is not obvious, and the injured person is easy to ignore, resulting in the inability to treat in time.
To say that the five-step snake and the silver ring snake who is more powerful, it is really not easy to compare, encounter them in the wild, it is best to avoid staying away, do not easily provoke them.
