Summer is a high incidence of snake activity and a high incidence of snake bites. So if we encounter a snake in the wild, what should we do to avoid being bitten by a snake?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > snake's weakness</h1>
As the saying goes, catch a snake and catch seven inches, but many people don't know where the seven inches of a snake are. Experienced people, when catching snakes, will grasp the position below the snake's head, so that the snake's head cannot be rotated and it is difficult to bite the other party. But in fact, there is no need for us to do this, because the vast majority of snakes will not take the initiative to hurt people, even the more aggressive five-step snakes, will not attack humans for no reason.
Regarding what snakes are most afraid of, many people will think of male yellow.
But in fact, there are programs that have done experiments, and the experiment shows that the snake is not afraid of the male yellow, and even walks past the male yellow. The popular science program "Science Seeks Truth" selects cobras, king snakes and water snakes.
On a closed table, the experimenter placed the snake's favorite rat at one end of the table, placed the snake on the other end of the table, and then sprinkled the male yellow powder in the middle of the table, and if the snake wanted to eat the mouse, it had to cross the male yellow powder.
In order to ensure the effect of the experiment, the staff deliberately starved each other for a period of time before the experiment, and it can be said that as long as they smell the smell of rats, they have the desire to eat.
When the staff put the snake on the end of the table, something surprising happened, and the three snakes did not hesitate in the slightest, and crossed directly over the male yellow powder, without the slightest discomfort.
The staff replaced the male yellow powder with garlic and wind oil essence, and found that the three snakes did not dare to go near.
The CCTV program "Is It True" has also done similar experiments, and the results show that snakes are not afraid of male yellow at all. If this is the case, then why are there rumors in film and television dramas and folk tales that snakes are afraid of male yellow powder?
According to experts, the reason why snakes are not afraid of male yellow powder, but afraid of wind oil essence and garlic, mainly because snakes are looking for prey through smell, their perception of smell is very strong, objects that can emit a strong pungent odor will make snakes instinctively leave, and the smell emitted by male yellow does not make them feel uncomfortable, so they will cross the male yellow.
Of course, if the male yellow is soaked in alcohol and brewed into male yellow wine, the snake will instinctively leave when it smells the smell of alcohol.
Through the above two sets of experiments, it can be seen that the weakness of snakes is mainly the ability to perceive odors too strongly, so when sleeping in the wild, you can choose to sprinkle some wind oil essence and other things around the tent.

In general, if you want to go to a place where snakes are often infested, it is best to wear long-sleeved pants and high-top shoes. Snakes are actually very afraid of people, even poisonous snakes, they will hide from people. However, snakes during the spawning period are more grumpy, and if they accidentally provoke them, or break into their nests, they may be attacked by snakes.
Most snakes will issue warnings before attacking humans, such as: king cobras will stand upright in the upper part of the body, and other snakes will make a "tear ~ tear ~ " sound, as long as the warning sound is heard and retreat, generally will not be attacked by poisonous snakes.
Of course, if you encounter a five-step snake and its relatives, they don't warn before attacking humans, but instead inject venom directly into the human body. The snake venom of the five-step snake is a blood circulation toxin, once bitten by the five-step snake, the wound site will bleed heavily, and it will produce severe pain, making it difficult to walk, if not rescued in time, the injured person is "either dead or disabled".
Therefore, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a five-step snake, it is best to hide far away.
If you are unfortunate enough to be bitten by a poisonous snake, you must not panic, but first write down the characteristics of the poisonous snake, or take a photo to facilitate the doctor's identification. The second is not to use the mouth to use drug liquid, but to bandage the end near the heart and relax every 20 minutes or so to avoid poor blood circulation and lead to limb necrosis.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor will inject the corresponding serum protein according to the breed of poisonous snake, and the serum protein can neutralize the toxins in the body, as long as it is rescued in time, the survival rate is actually very high.
If you encounter a non-venomous snake, there is generally no danger. But if the opponent is more than 3 meters in size, it will have the ability to swallow humans. Non-venomous snakes in the predator, will be through the strength of the muscles to strangle the prey, if unfortunately more than 3 meters long python entangled, itself can not break free, you can ask a friend next to you to poke the snake's cloaca with a hard object, this is their weakness, once they feel pain, they will give up strangulation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > summary</h1>
Many people will think that "poisonous snakes harm people", so people should eliminate snakes, but in fact, snakes are also part of the ecosystem, they control the number of local rodents and other small mammals, and the elimination of snakes will lead to ecological imbalance.
In fact, as long as we do a good job of protection and do not take the initiative to provoke the snake, the snake will basically not attack us. If you encounter snakes, you can call the police to deal with them, there is no need to hurt them.
