Chapter 365 Poisonous snakes are medicinal

He was thinking everywhere, and he wanted to take a look, so he looked down patiently, but he saw that it was recorded: King cobra, also known as the mountain snake, the mountain storm, the big flat-necked snake, the big cobra, the big flat-headed wind, the flat-necked snake, the big bulging neck, the blowing snake, the mountain mark, etc.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but open his mouth and said "Huh", and said in his heart: It turns out that this king cobra is not another snake species, it is the mountain snake that Feng Fan and the three of them said.

If you see it clearly at the moment, you have the heart to see it in detail.

I saw that the text later wrote: this snake body color is jet-black or black-brown, with a narrow and light-colored transverse band, about forty to fifty-four, the tail is earthy yellow, the abdomen is gray-brown, there are black linear markings, with anterior groove teeth, can be called the largest anterior groove tooth snake species in the Central Plains, the head is oval, the neck can be expanded, similar to a cobra, the characteristics are generally the same, the difference is that the body is larger and longer, often up to three to four meters long, the maximum length is almost six meters, belongs to the largest snake species among venomous snakes. There are nine large scales on the back of the head, the biggest difference from the common cobra is that there is still a pair of large occipital scales behind the top scales; the neck is narrow and long when it is expanded, and there are no characteristic markings of cobras; when the neck is flattened, you can see the white inverted "human" shaped spots, and the back of the body has narrow white markings, about 40 to 50; the middle part of the dorsal scales is 15 rows, and the lower tail scales are single. The dorsal surface is dark brown or black with transverse spots, and the ventral surface is yellowish-white. The ventral surface of the neck is orange-yellow. The young snakes are black with yellowish-white rings, about 34 to 45.

This snake temperament is more ferocious than the ordinary cobra, the reaction is extremely agile, the head and neck rotate flexibly, the amount of detoxification is large, the poison is violent, it is the most poisonous and dangerous snake species in the Central Plains, it distinguishes the type of prey, usually through its own letter swallowing sensitive, can detect the enemy through the air, to identify, when frightened and provoked, both sides of its neck will be flattened at the same time. And make a "whirring" sound, the front half of the body is erected, and it will take the initiative to suddenly attack people and animals.

This snake excretes a large amount of poison, and poisons twenty or thirty people in one bite. It's normal. It is a deadly neurotoxin secreted by the salivary glands located at the back of the eye. Venom enters the body and injures the nerves, causing severe pain, visual impairment, dizziness, drowsiness and paralysis of the bitten person, causing the bite person's heart and blood vessels to collapse immediately and fall into a coma, and eventually die due to respiratory failure. After a mortal is bitten by it, in a pillar of incense light, he will inevitably die of poison, if it is faster, it will not take half an hour to die immediately, therefore. Mortals must be careful when traveling, and it is best to avoid it in time to avoid flying disasters, bites for it, and poisoning to death.

This snake is widely distributed in the territory, mainly distributed in South China and Southwest China, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also widely distributed, the staple food is similar to other snakes, but also prey on mice, lizards, small birds, therefore. In its territory, it is difficult to see other snake species other than it, and it is necessary to flee. It is the thing in his belly, which can be said: "Famous far and wide, famous." ”

The snake usually hides in crevices or tree hollows, and occasionally climbs trees, usually with the back half of its body wrapped around branches and the front half of its body hanging in the air or raised. Active day and night. Joy to live alone. Foraging during the day. The bite is fierce, rests at night, and hides carefully. It is always oviparous, and lays eggs in nests in July and August, producing about 20 to 40 thin eggs, which are stored in nests made of dead leaves, and this snake is also the only snake species that can build nests, and other snakes have never been like this. Snakes usually have the habit of protecting eggs.

This snake has a very high medicinal value, snake skin, also known as snake molt, traditional Chinese medicine called "dragon clothes", has the effect of dispelling wind, brightening eyes, detoxification, insecticide, etc., in addition to the hibernation period, can be collected into medicine, often used to treat various stubborn diseases, such as scabies, swelling and shingles, etc., but also to make musical instruments and drum skins. Snake gallbladder has the functions of gasification and phlegm, searching for wind and dampness, clearing the liver and eyes, calming the gallbladder and extinguishing wind, and can treat acute and chronic bronchitis, whooping cough and other respiratory diseases, as well as rheumatic pain, convulsions in children, stroke in the elderly and other diseases. Drinking fresh snake blood can treat joint pain and deformation, and also has the effect of "whitening". Snake internal organs are mainly used to treat tuberculosis, and some home remedies, snake testicles can be used to treat sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis.

Among them, snake venom and snake gall bladder are still precious, which can be added to Chinese medicine as Chinese medicinal materials and synthetic ingredients to make special secret medicines.

This snake venom is precious and rare, the toxicity is violent, the poison contained in a drop of venom is higher than that of other highly venomous snake species, it can be called tricky, rare, the reason is not him, but the main reason is that it is more difficult to take, it must be taken alive, squeezed out of the fangs by hand, before it can be used, otherwise, there is no other way, the so-called: "Rare is expensive." On the rivers and lakes, it can be said: "It is difficult to buy with money, and it is difficult to find a price." "The demand is not enough, the supply exceeds the demand, therefore, in the snake catching world is usually known as "liquid gold", which can be called gold.

Although this snake gall is not rare, but it is also expensive, although it is much easier to take than snake venom, but after all, it is a snake and a gall, it is very rare, it is not begging, it is rare, it is rare, and it is rare and exotic snake gall, the medicinal value is extremely high, and the food can be greatly strengthened, prolong life, it is to be, mortals are fortunate to meet it, should cherish it, eat it raw, and benefit their own body.
