Human beings have developed and multiplied on the earth for millions of years, from the small pitiful people who once trembled on the African savannah to today's intelligent civilization, almost achieving a step to the top of the food chain, and even jumping out of the limits of the food chain. Three to five million years ago, australopithecus, the ancestor of humans, still had natural enemies of large cats, and now few species can threaten the status of humans.
We are afraid of many species, such as tigers, lions, wolves or grizzly bears, because of their wild nature and aggressive power, humans can not take advantage of anything. But the fear of these species is not as good as the fear of snakes, even if it is a non-venomous grass snake, many people will retreat. The main reason is that they are too aggressive, especially some highly venomous snakes have a relatively high fatality rate, but because of their non-aggressive appearance, they must have caused great harm to ancient humans.
So that this sense of fear is passed down with genes, and modern humans, even if they face non-venomous snakes, will instinctively fear as long as they see their form.
Snakes are a relatively ancient creature, on the earth has developed and multiplied for more than 100 million years, they are degenerate limbs of reptiles, mainly rodents and small mammals for food, of course, different snake recipes are also determined according to their own body size, some long tree rice pythons will also eat some calves and lambs, etc., these are factual cases.
Humans are afraid of snakes, especially poisonous snakes and pythons that are a threat to us! Therefore, being bitten by a poisonous snake is very troublesome, and serious ones can be fatal.
The Zhejiang man was bitten by a super venomous snake
The matter dates back to a month ago, Mr. Luo from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, was walking in the park with two friends at 10 o'clock in the evening, and suddenly felt that the ankle was like being bitten by a mosquito, and it hurt to take a closer look through the moonlight, a snake more than one meter long flew out, with a triangular head and a pattern on the body, Mr. Luo knew that he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. Then at the critical moment, Mr. Luo's textbook operation seemed to be rehearsed in advance, and he solved the wound in just a few minutes to find rescue, and won the perfect chance of survival for himself.
The first is to treat the wound temporarily, the friend helps the next mouthful of poisonous blood to be sucked out, and then burn the wound with a lighter to reduce the unique content in the body as much as possible. After the wound is treated, it is necessary to quickly go to the hospital for antivenom injection, which is the ultimate goal.
In fact, there is a very key scene here, that is, after Mr. Luo was bitten by a poisonous snake, he let his friend quickly smash the poisonous snake with a stone, and then took a picture and put it in a bag, many people may feel that the victim is more angry before killing the snake to vent his anger, but the reason is really not so, this is a very critical step.
The average person is bitten by a snake, panic does not know what to do, often miss the opportunity to waste time, and even do not know what kind of poisonous snake bite, which will add a lot of difficulties to the doctor when going to the hospital for treatment, after all, there are more than three thousand kinds of snakes, there are hundreds of kinds of snakes, the nature of snake venom and the persecution of the human body are far away, if you want to use antivenom to treat you must know what kind of poisonous snake, so Mr. Luo and his party beat the poisonous snake to death to take photos is a very critical step.
The snake that hurt this time was the proto-spearhead viper, a notorious super venomous snake that is biologically classified as a member of the viper family, with a typical triangular head that is found in countries such as China, India and Bangladesh.
They prefer to live in hilly and forested areas, especially around the house, but in general, they do not actively attack humans, but they will attack people when they receive interference. Adult proto-spearhead viper venom releases more than 108 mg, and about 50 mg can kill people.
In order to avoid being bitten by poisonous snakes, try to go to the places where snakes and insects are more distributed in the wild, and do not easily tease snakes, after all, this is a large class of species that make human ancestors more fearful.
