According to the latest report from Jiangsu News, on October 24, a citizen in Nanjing called the police and reported that he found a big snake crawling on the sidewalk. The police introduced the snake into a snakeskin bag and then sent it to the countryside to release it. Reminder: If you find a wild snake, call the police immediately for help. Do not handle it yourself!
What should you do if you encounter a snake while out?
01
Prepare these snake protection equipment before going out
“finish dressing”
Wear long clothes, long trousers, high-top shoes, and tie the trousers tightly to avoid exposing any skin.
put on hat
Wear a hat when entering the forest area to prevent snakes hanging from the trees from touching the neck and biting people. And try not to walk into the grass.
Bring a stick
If you have to go through the grass, you can take a small stick and use the method of “snatching the grass and alerting the snake” to pass while beating.
Apply some sulfur
Most snakes are afraid of the smell of sulfur and realgar. The easiest way is to prepare a sulfur ointment and apply it on the feet and calves.
Prepare the “antidote”
People who like outdoor activities can purchase backup medicines, such as Ji Desheng Snake Tablets.
02
What should you do if you are accidentally bitten by a snake?
Don’t step on these “big pits”!
Suck liquid in mouth
In fact, it is difficult to suck out snake venom with the force of mouth suction. Venomous snake bite wounds are usually pinprick-shaped and are very small, making it difficult to suck out the venom. Even if part of the venom can be sucked out, a small amount remains and can still cause poisoning to the injured.
cut cross
Making a cross-shaped incision on the snake bite wound can generally drain the venom and lymph fluid more smoothly. However, you cannot make a cross if you are bitten by a five-step snake and a viper.
The five-step snake has a strong blood circulation poison. The blood circulation poison will dissolve the platelets and cause the wound to bleed. Cutting the wound again will easily cause bleeding. Being bitten by a five-step snake may cause ulcers on the injured limb and can easily cause disability.
burn with fire
Some people believe that after being bitten by a snake, burning the mouth with fire and denaturing the protein through overheating can make the poison of the snake venom disappear.
In fact, the severe pain caused by fire will stimulate and accelerate blood circulation, causing the wound to not heal or even become necrotic.
03
What should you do after being bitten by a snake?
Remember the following steps
① break away
Immediately stay away from the place where you were bitten by a snake. If the snake bites you, you can use sticks or other tools to encourage it to leave. If you are bitten by a snake (such as a sea snake) in the water, you should immediately move to the shore or boat to avoid drowning. .
② Calm
After being bitten by a snake, try to stay calm and avoid running in a panic, otherwise the blood circulation will accelerate, and the snake venom will also invade the human body through the blood circulation. Movement of the bitten area should be restricted.
③ Identify snakes
Try to remember the basic characteristics of a snake, such as its shape, head, body, color and pattern. If possible, it is best to take photos of injured snakes. It is best not to try to catch or chase the snake at the scene to avoid being bitten again.
④ Unzip
Remove various restricted items from the injured area, such as rings, bracelets, anklets, watches, etc., to avoid being unable to remove them due to subsequent swelling and aggravating local injuries.
⑤ Ligation
You can use a rope or tear your clothes into strips of cloth for ligation. When ligating, you can feel the pulse of the artery at the distal end. The tightness is similar to the tightness of the rubber tubes used for blood tests in the hospital. Loosen the ligation for 3 minutes every half hour to an hour.
⑥ Clean the wound
After being bitten by a snake, the wound should be washed repeatedly with clean water, cold boiled water, etc. according to local conditions after ligation or expansion of the wound.
If conditions permit, 1:1000 potassium permanganate solution, Andover or physiological saline can be used to flush the remaining venom from the wound.
⑦ Bloodletting and detoxification
Those bitten by nerve-venomous or mixed venomous snakes such as bungara, krait, king cobra, cobra, especially those who have to wait a long time (more than 2 hours) to get to the hospital——
You can use a three-edged needle to prick the wound and its surrounding area to bleed for detoxification. You can also use a razor blade to make a “one” incision at the wound to bleed, but be careful not to cut too deeply.
For those who can rush to the hospital in a short time, incision and bleeding are generally not recommended.
