Chapter 829: Viper
Yongzhou originally produced many poisonous snakes, the most famous of which is the strange snake that Liu Zongyuan wrote about in the snake catcher's story. This time, the People's Liberation Army encountered not only strange snakes but also various other poisonous snakes in the mountains and forests of Yongzhou.
For example, the short-tailed pit viper, commonly known as the grass flying and the ground flat snake, is highly poisonous and extremely poisonous. The habitat environment is mostly plains, hills and grasses, farming areas, ditches, roadsides and around villages, most of them use ready-made caves such as tree holes and rat holes, and they are active day and night, which is extremely dangerous.
Zhoushan cobra, commonly known as rice shovel head Yongzhou common cobra is mostly this kind. Highly toxic! Cobra venom is a mixture of toxins, including neurotoxins and circulatory toxins, and it can be life-threatening if antivenom is not injected in time after being bitten. The advantage of a cobra over a pit viper is that the cobra will have a hint before attacking, while the pit viper is a killer disguised in the shadows, silently giving you a fatal blow at any time.
King cobra, highly venomous! Commonly known as mountain peaks, large cobras. It is the largest venomous snake in the world, up to six meters in length, the body is thicker than an adult man's arm, when it senses danger, it will stand up one-third of its body length, can look at adults, and once it judges that it is in danger, it will attack immediately, although the king cobra is not the most venomous snake in the world, but it is the world's most venomous snake, on average it can inject 200 to 500 milligrams of venom in its mouth, of which about 100 milligrams of dry venom, and the average lethal dose is 12 milligrams.
King cobra toxin is a mixture of toxins, in which neurotoxins can cause symptoms such as visual impairment, dizziness, drowsiness, etc., while cardiotoxins cause weakened heartbeat, respiratory failure and eventually death through blood circulation. Feed on other snakes, aggressive, agile, and tricky attack angles, extremely dangerous, if you encounter it in the wild, run away! You can also throw things to attract its attention and take the opportunity to escape. Don't listen to what the old people say about running curved routes, running in a straight line can't run snakes, that's all a fallacy, snakes' endurance is very poor, and king cobras will not chase humans more than three or four meters at most.
The original spearhead pit pit has a title that explains its horror: the king of rotten meat, highly poisonous! Many people joked: If I had to be bitten by a poisonous snake, I would rather be bitten by a krait than by this guy. Its toxins are mainly blood circulation toxins, the bitten toxins will destroy blood cells, cause internal bleeding, wound ulceration, swelling, even if the antivenom is injected in a short time, the wound will rot, muscle necrosis, look extremely disgusting, and even have the risk of being forced to amputate to save their lives if they are not treated in time. If you see it in a crowded place, you can kill it, and in the wild deep mountains and old forests, just avoid it.
White-lipped bamboo leaves are green, commonly known as green bamboo snakes. Highly toxic! It often lives in plains with grass or low bushes or on bamboo, and is also found near human dwellings. Bamboo leaf toxin is a blood circulation toxin, the wound of the poisoned person will be red and swollen, purple spots under the skin, accompanied by severe pain, but generally not fatal, but if the wound is not properly treated, there will still be a risk of wound infection and death. Not to be underestimated!
The krait, commonly known as the golden armor belt, is gold-clad iron. Highly toxic! The krait is also a member of the cobra family, the subfamily of the cobra family. The krait has an oval head (there is a popular way to distinguish between venomous snakes and non-venomous snakes: those with triangular heads are venomous snakes, and vice versa are non-venomous; The brighter the body color pattern, the more venomous the snake, and the dull the non-venomous. This statement is false, for example, the krait and its brother the krait have oval heads, but they are highly venomous, and most of the pit vipers have dull body colors and patterns, but all of them are highly venomous! And many non-venomous snakes have evolved colorful colors that symbolize poison in nature in order to protect themselves, just to tell the enemy: I am poisonous! to scare away the enemy. Because of this false statement, many non-venomous snakes have also been killed)
The krait is extremely docile, rarely bites, and mostly inhabits plains, low mountains, and small streams. Feeding on fish, frogs, and rats, the krait snake also has a strong snake-eating nature and eats snakes as well.
Bengal cobra, highly venomous! It is extremely dangerous, and there are many cases of bites. The white pattern on the back of the neck is a single circle, which is easy to identify. Very dangerous! Cobras are dominated by neurotoxins. The wound reaction after the bite of this kind of toxin is not very large, and it is easy to make people think that there is nothing wrong, and when the poison feels uncomfortable, the best time for treatment has been delayed, and the fatality rate is extremely high.
The original spearhead pit of cauliflower, commonly known as the cauliflower soldering iron head, is highly poisonous! The original spearhead pit of cauliflower is similar to the pattern of another non-venomous snake "King Snake", many people will not be able to distinguish it if they do not see it clearly, in fact, the head gap is very large, and the basic triangle of the head of the spearhead pit is extremely obvious. That's why it happens, some places will say that the cauliflower snake is poisonous, and some places will say that the cauliflower snake is not poisonous.
Silver krait, commonly known as the Jixia, white black, money white snake, silver armor belt, silver clad iron, etc. There is an area in Yongzhou called the Forty-Eight Festival, and Qiyang generally calls it the White Road Snake. Super poisonous! The silver krait is the first venomous snake in our Great Celestial Empire, and its poison ranks fourth in the world on land (except Oceania) and eighth in the world (including sea snakes). Abbreviated as the first poison of the Celestial Empire!
The krait is also a member of the cobra family. The toxin is a neurotoxin, the bite wound is basically painless, the bitten person is often unaware, and the neurotoxin will begin to attack within three hours, when the person will be dizzy and want to sleep. When you sleep, you're dead.
The snake is nocturnal and appears more often at night, especially in hot and humid weather, but it is also seen in early summer when the weather is clear, and it comes out to bask in the sun during the day. The snake has a mild temperament and rarely bites actively, but it will also attack and bite when it lays eggs to hatch or is alarmed. The krait likes to rest in the middle of the rural road after hunting at night, and the general attack is to fight back after being stepped on by mistake.
The amount of venom excreted by the snake is very small, about 4.6 milligrams, but the average lethal dose is only 1 milligram. If you die, catch it, bite it, and wait for death!
Finally, the snake catcher from the Tang Dynasty writer Liu Zongyuan said, "The wild of Yongzhou produces strange snakes, black and white, touching the grass and trees, and they die; To bite people, there is no one. ”
In fact, it is the barramundi pither, commonly known as the five-step snake! Highly toxic! But not as exaggerated as the snake catchers say! The sharp-nosed pit is distributed in most areas of the Celestial Empire, and it is named Yongzhou Alien Snake, which has to be thanked to Liu Zongyuan!
The barramundi often uses its body color patterns on dead grass leaves as a camouflage, making it extremely difficult to identify. Because of this habit, it was discovered by the ancients that plants and trees were dying because of their poison.
The pit viper subfamily, the toxin is the same as other pit vipers are blood circulation toxins, and the bite wound is also nauseous to death, and extremely painful, compared to the neurotoxins of the members of the cobra family, this is indeed a lot of sin! Improper post-bite treatment, untimely treatment can also lead to amputation and even life-threatening!
