Chapter 235 [Popular Science - Poisonous Snakes in the Wild]
Unable to be unsainted: "This creature has always been the thing I am most afraid of, there is no one, Brother Xiaodao, you can say more!" ~It's best to tell us all about the weaknesses of this thing! ”
"Agreed! ~”
"Seconded."
"Resolution! Say it! ”
Hu Xiaodao didn't expect a group of people to react so strongly to the snake. However, after thinking about it, there is still the possibility of escaping when encountering other animals in the wild or at home, but encountering a terrifying cold-blooded killer like a snake is overwhelming.
"First of all, I want to talk about why people are afraid of snakes, the first reason is because snakes generally hunt their prey day and night, and they can be attacked during the day and at night.
The second is, of course, poisonous, according to statistics, about 20% of the world's poisonous snakes. There is also a misunderstanding that the more triangular the head of the snake, the more venomous, in fact, this is unscientific.
We all know that the krait and the silver krait are round-headed, but they are highly venomous snakes, the kind that falls in one step; The head of the neck-edged snake is triangular, but it is a non-venomous one.
Being bitten in the wild, can not be judged as a non-venomous snake because the symptoms are not visible on the surface or the person is fine, non-venomous snake bites are common with four rows of small tooth marks, venomous snake bites usually see one or two or three relatively large and deep tooth marks, and some venomous snakes have two ventilated teeth.
Observe the wound carefully, sometimes the venomous snake will break the tooth in the flesh, and it should be pulled out immediately to prevent the poison from increasing.
In addition, one to three minutes after being bitten will not spread toxins, at this time, if there is a knife in the hand, you can make a cross-shaped small opening at the wound site to facilitate the venom to squeeze and discharge, but do not apply alcohol or liquor to the wound.
Only use hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% potassium permanganate, salt water or cold boiled water, soap, wash! ”
Unable to be unsage: "Damn, where to find these things in the wild, Brother Xiaodao, aren't you teasing me!" ”
Hu Xiaodao smiled and said, "Then there should always be urine, right?" The simplest thing is that you all know that in ancient times, when there were no gas masks, people would use urine to soak cotton fabrics to prevent poisoning when they encountered the spread of poisonous gases.
In fact, the claim that urine can detoxify is mixed in ancient and modern times, because many modern sciences have not found that urine alkali contains detoxification ingredients, but urine alkali can accelerate wound hemostasis and healing, so it is boasted of a miraculous skill.
There is another reason, which is my personal guess, after all, we have to believe in science, when science can't explain things, then we have to make bold assumptions, assuming that urine alkali can make people nauseous, then it happens that gall has a detoxification function.
In the past, people said that they vomited bile, and there was a certain amount of this sentence. Vomiting, then the toxin comes out with vomiting, and it will naturally detoxify. ”
"But I'm here to tell you that when you're in the wild, as long as you follow my above-mentioned methods, urine can indeed relieve heat poisoning and stop bleeding, there is no doubt about that."
Unable to be unsainted: "Then little soldier, you teach me, if you don't get bitten by a poisonous snake in the desert with your bare buttocks, and you can't pee, is there any salvation?" ”
"There must be salvation, just cut it! ~ But it must be within three minutes, after three minutes, the toxin will begin to spread, and it will be too late to cut it by then, hehehehe......" Hu Xiaodao smiled slyly.
"666, daily hey, hey, hey!"
"Brother Dao's brain teaser is losing! ~”
Unable to be unsainted: "Brother Dao, you ...... It feels like I won't love anymore! ”
Hu Xiaodao smiled lightly, put down the work in his hand, stood up and stretched his waist to continue working, and said as he did it: "Actually, there are still many snakes that can't be cut open and detoxified immediately after being bitten.
For example, pit vipers, ironhead snakes, and vipers contain a substance called hemolysin.
We all know that when there is a wound, the blood will continue to gush out, and that is because the blood will automatically repair the wound and coagulate the scar, so that the human body can return to health.
Throtin is a substance that can degrade blood clots, making blood unable to clot, and many ancient people bleed after poisoning more than this hemolysin is caused by this hemolysin. Therefore, if you are bitten by the above kinds of poisonous snakes, you must not open the cross-shaped notch to bleed.
Otherwise, if there is no hemostatic tool in the wilderness, you will wait to become a human to do it! ”
Speaking of this, Hu Xiaodao thought for a while and then continued: "Having said so much, I have forgotten the main activity rules and habits of poisonous snakes, so I will talk about the knowledge of prevention and control!" ”
"First of all, when setting up camp in the wild, it's best not to stay too long in a rat hole or near a river, because snakes hunt for a long time, and it's not unusual to stay in prey for three or five days or even a week.
If possible, it is best to clean up all the grass nearby, or sprinkle lime powder is also OK to prevent snakes from climbing your station, it is best not to move when you wake up in the morning, first observe the situation around you, if there are snakes, it is best to use a wooden stick to fly.
With the exception of cobras, all snakes in the world generally do not actively attack people. It bites when we don't notice it and get too close to the snake's body, or when we unintentionally step on it.
If you encounter a snake, it will not attack you, so don't disturb it, especially in the sweltering rainforest or when the snake is often out of the hole after the rain. Special attention should be paid to snake prevention before, after and after the rain.
Cobras, king cobras are active during the day, silver krait are active at night, and pit vipers are active both during the day and at night. In addition, pit vipers are very sensitive to heat sources and have the habit of fighting fires, so when walking at night with open flames, it is necessary to avoid venomous snake bites.
As for what to wear, my personal advice is to wear high-tops or leather boots, long coats and trousers, hats, buttoned collars, cuffs, and trousers. Try to avoid marching or resting in the grass, and if you have to, take care to startle the snakes.
But while you are scaring the snake, if you are unlucky enough to meet a cobra...... Then you have to prevent it from biting! ~
And when walking in the wild, be sure to take a magic version of the trekking pole like me, which is not only used for mountaineering, but also to prevent snakes.
If you encounter a poisonous snake, stay calm and quiet, don't move suddenly, and don't attack. If the snake is chasing you, you should run to a higher place, or run in an S-shape, because the snake goes straight and turns the slowest.
If you happen to have clothes in your hand and you see a poisonous snake about to pounce on you, throw it or wrap it up with your clothes and keep running.
In case, I mean, if you want to kill a snake, then you also have to find the position of seven inches, hit the snake and hit the seven inches, in fact, the position of seven inches is the heart of the snake, everyone knows that snakes are soft ladder animals, there is no strong bone protection, so generally one stick will die.
Also, don't take a poisonous snake that is suspected to be dead lightly, because no one knows if it will eventually come to you with a bite in its dying struggles.
If you really meet a poisonous snake in a narrow way, then you try to make a way, and the poisonous snake will usually leave obediently. ”
