Chapter 272: The Best Way to Eliminate Fear
Daigo scratched his head and said, "If you know that it is a non-venomous snake, you shouldn't be afraid, and it's okay to take a bite." ”
Fang Ye smiled: "Isn't it that when you think that snakes are non-venomous, you feel a lot less fearful?"
It shows that although fear of snakes may have an innate genetic effect, we humans are good at learning and can dissolve and eliminate this fear through acquired understanding.
Like thunder, thunder may be accompanied by forest fires, heavy rains, mudslides and other disasters, resulting in deaths, so the ancients were quite afraid of thunder, right, and imagined that thunder is God's wrath.
But now we have all gone to school, studied physics, and know that lightning is a discharge of positive and negative electrodes, and high-rise buildings have lightning rods, and when we go out, we don't stand under high hills and trees, and we know that there are some ways to avoid being struck by lightning. Are there still people who are afraid of thunder? Didn't you? ”
Fang Ye glanced at the tourists who nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Yes, I think few modern people are worried about being struck by lightning, it is an ultra-unlikely event, and they care more about the safety of their own household electricity."
Everyone is afraid of snakes, probably thinking that the snake thing suddenly appeared and disappeared mysteriously, lurking in the shadows and suddenly attacking, there may be poison, what if one day suddenly appears at the door of the house, what to do if you are bitten, it's too terrifying!
In fact, snakes are also afraid of people, and the fear of people is far greater than the fear of snakes!
The first reaction when I see people is basically to run away.
You see a snake, you shout, ah, there is a snake, it scares people to death.
If the snake could talk, it would also shout, "Ahh ”
The tourists around listened to it interestingly and couldn't help but laugh!
Fang Ye said: "The snake's attack behavior is mainly for two purposes, one is hunting, and the other is defense.
If you hunt, such a large size of a person is not within the hunting range of the snake at all, unless it is some super large python, how can the giant python that can eat people be seven or eight meters long, it must not be encountered in the city, and the chance of encountering it in the wild is not smaller than that of thunder.
When a snake bites, it basically feels that its life is threatened, and it bites for defense!
The venom of the venom of the venom is very precious, its venom has to be used when hunting, if it is handed over for defense, it may take a week or more to recover, then it will be hungry during this time, so it is not willing to inject poison easily.
It's not that there is no injustice and no revenge quietly squatting in front of your house, just to bite you and then be killed, isn't this snake sick in the head?
There is a saying, 'People don't stretch out their hands, snakes don't bite people'!
As long as you keep your distance from the snake, the snake will not bite you. ”
"Oh~"
Tourists, who were originally afraid of snakes, showed more or less thoughtful or relaxed expressions!
The snake-afraid mother asked seriously, "How far away do you want to go?" Is 20 meters enough? ”
"20 meters?" Fang Ye smiled dumbly, and then patiently explained, "Do you have the illusion that the snake swoops out and disappears instantly after taking a bite?
The snake's attack speed is very fast, but the attack distance will not exceed half of its length!
A distance of 3 meters is very safe.
These 20 meters is counting the distance they can escape, and snakes will not actively pursue people, unless they are very few snakes with strong territorial awareness and short tempers, such as king cobras or black mambas, may pursue, but they will not chase too far. You can buy lottery tickets when you meet them in the wild. ”
A boy with a flat head and a student-like appearance said with great interest: "Hey, the principal said that 'people don't stretch out their hands, snakes don't bite people', I remembered a news I saw before, saying that an outdoor anchor and friends were bitten by poisonous snakes in the wild looking for snakes.
I went to look at his video, and directly reached the distance of a palm of the snake's head, the snake hesitated for a moment and didn't move, and the anchor had to inch in and put his hand to his mouth, and asked, 'How is this wave of operation, brothers'.
Before he finished speaking, he was bitten by a snake, isn't this pure death! ”
Daigo exclaimed: "Damn, there is still such a fool? ”
Lin Hao also shook his head and said speechlessly: "If you can, I want to sit at the child's table at the dinner table." ”
Fang Ye shrugged: "A poisonous snake like this that teases the wild is obviously underestimated...... It's just a blister in the head. The example given by this friend is very typical, in fact, many people are bitten by snakes, and they are bitten when teasing snakes or catching snakes.
If you don't die, you won't die! ”
The middle-aged man with a national character face couldn't help but say: "Then what if I go to climb the mountain and don't notice that there is a snake in the grass and accidentally step on it?" ”
Fang Ye said with a smile: "This problem is also very easy to handle, when you go up the mountain, you take the path of people, don't go to the dense grass, you go to climb the mountain and you are not a biologist to do research, or farmers go to the mountains to find wild fruits, what do you do in the grass and forests."
If you have to go to the wilderness, wear long sleeves and pants, high-top hiking boots or rain boots, and a straw hat so that the up and down angles can be prevented.
If you really encounter a snake, you can find a high place and stomp on your feet, not a snake, stomp on the ground! The snake felt the ground shake and slipped away.
If you don't want to go, you can pick up the snake with a long stick or trekking pole.
Why do you need to stand on a high place, because when a snake escapes, it usually runs away from the source of the sound, or to a low place.
Don't kick or stone, it's all wrong.
If the snake really doesn't want to give you way, then take a detour. ”
Lily raised her hand curiously, like a primary school student asking a question in class: "Principal, how can you tell if a snake is poisonous or not?" If you really want to be bitten by a poisonous snake, what should you do? ”
This is indeed a question that many tourists are concerned about!
Immediately, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
A tourist said, "I know this!" A snake with a triangular head is poisonous. ”
Fang Ye shook his finger and said, "This statement is widely circulated among the people, but the wrong statement has nothing to do with whether it is a triangular head or not.
Did you just see our beautiful green tree python over there? Its head is triangular, but pythons are non-venomous.
Including other widely circulated identification methods, to see if the color of the snake is bright, the black and white color of the silver krait, can this be a little more simple? But its toxicity is intense.
Often mistaken for a venomous snake, the red chain snake has a red and black body with bright colors, but in fact it is very weakly poisonous.
If you want to just look at the appearance to identify whether it is a poisonous snake, this has to be very experienced, each kind of poisonous snake to know, we have a popular science exhibition board in the exhibition area of the two climbing halls to introduce some common poisonous snakes in our country, you can see it yourself if you are interested.
There are also snakes that are not venomous, but imitate the appearance of venomous snakes, which is even more difficult to distinguish. For example, the black-backed white-ringed snake and Liu's white-ringed snake are cos silver snakes.
So everyone just needs to remember that if you see a snake, you should treat it as a poisonous snake, and keep your distance from the snake is okay. ”
