What's more terrifying than a snake in the house? Snakes appear in the toilets at home!
If you think about it, when you go to the toilet, a snake suddenly pops out of the toilet, and you just got bitten, don't you think about it? And this situation is really there, according to foreign media reports, a Dutch man on vacation in South Africa, when going to the toilet was bitten by a cobra Tintin, we know that cobras are highly poisonous, if not treated in time it is easy to lose their lives.
After the bite, the man was in a protected area of the safari park, and it took a few hours to reach the place of treatment, and finally because carnivorous bacteria settled in the body, he was forced to drop a period of time.
For example, in May 2016, when a man in Thailand was going to the toilet at home, he was bitten by a python that suddenly appeared in the squat pit, and it is understood that this snake is about 3.5 meters. Another man in Austria was bitten by a 1.6-meter-long python while going to the toilet at home. So the question is, why did the snake get into the toilet? If you live on a high floor, will the snake also appear? Come and go, pay attention to passers-by, listen to what customers say.
First of all, let's analyze why the snake enters the sewer pipe, there may be two reasons: First, because of the drought caused by the high temperature of the environment, the snake will look for water and food, and when passing through the village or town, it will be tempted by food (rats), and the snake will follow the smell of rats into the sewers.
Second, as a pet, maybe your neighbor has a snake, and then the snake escapes, and you and the neighbor still use the same drainage pipe, and then the snake comes to your house through the drainage pipe. For example, the snake that appeared in the man's house in Austria was the pet of the neighboring man.
So why do snakes get into the toilet? Rats may live in the sewers of the city, and snakes are attracted by the rats and enter the sewers, and the air quality in the sewers is very bad. If the snake enters here, it will also crawl up the pipe in search of fresh air, and finally appear in the toilet of the resident's room.
At present, there are two kinds of toilets we use: straight-through and siphon-type, straight-through pipes are thick, the path is short, and it is easier for snakes to drill out; siphon-type pipes are S-shaped, the pipes are thin and long, and it will be relatively difficult for snakes to drill into the toilet, but it is also possible.
If you live on a higher floor, will snakes also appear in the toilet? Reptile scientist Jack Conrad once said in an interview that snakes are very good at swimming, can hold their breath for a long time, and if necessary, they have the ability to swim upstream, or through narrow spaces, such as to hunt.
Rats and snakes are not the only animals that appear in the toilets, and in May 2020, some residents of the United Kingdom were invaded by frogs in their homes. Residents said that the frogs that did not know where they came from were climbing up from the sewers, and another resident said: "I am afraid of sitting on the toilet, I am always worried that something suddenly climbs up, and after seeing the frog crawl out of the toilet, I only dare to stand on the toilet to go to the toilet." ”
After investigation, the staff in charge of the water supply system said that it is possible that frogs breed in the sewers near the residents, and the frogs are very slippery and swimmer, and it is easier to pass through the narrow places such as the sewers to the toilet.
In addition to this is the funnel web spider, which lives in Australia and is a highly venomous spider and one of the deadliest spiders in the world. If bitten by it, the average time of death is about 28 minutes, and children will have faster seizures, and once a child died 15 minutes after being bitten.
In addition to living in dark, damp places, the funnel web spider also likes to climb the toilet, and it may enter the toilet in two ways, one is through the sewer pipe, and the other is falling from the ceiling. The funnel web spider can't swim, but can stay in the water for about 30 hours because the fluff around the abdomen can catch small bubbles, and if you go to the toilet in Australia, try to avoid touching the toilet seat, because the funnel web spider likes to stay there.
There is an old saying that "The July wasp and the August snake", in addition to the more frequent snake activities in the summer, it is also the peak period for snakes in August and October every year. We know that snakes hibernate in winter, and snakes do not eat or drink when they hibernate, so they will frequently hunt for energy reserves before hibernation in preparation for winter.
In order to avoid being bitten by a snake on the toilet, when you go to the toilet in the area where snakes often appear, you must flush the toilet first, if you are accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, you can use fire to disinfect it, squeeze out the venom, and then rinse it with a lot of water. If the bitten part is not convenient to handle, first maintain calm, reduce exercise, so that the family can send first aid as quickly as possible, do not run around. If there is no one nearby, call the emergency number first, and then contact the nearest person to send first aid.
