Snakes are "afraid" of realgar
Realgar is the common name for arsenic tetrasulfide, also known as stone yellow, gold stone, and cockscomb stone. It is usually an orange-yellow granular solid or orange-yellow. It is actually incorrect to say that snakes are afraid of realgar. Many experiments have shown that snakes are not afraid of realgar, but they just don't like the pungent smell of realgar and some items made with realgar, such as realgar wine.
If there are snakes in the room, you can use realgar or realgar wine or realgar products to put in the room. The snakes will naturally go away if they don’t like the taste of realgar
It’s okay if there is no realgar. Try the following method
I remember learning a text when I was in school
It was about a foreign woman who had a snake crawl on her leg when she was entertaining guests. The woman asked the maid to bring a basin of hot milk out, and the snake swam out after smelling the hot milk
You can also try using hot milk
If there is no milk, You can also try to pick out the snake with a stick
If you are sure that the snake is not poisonous, you can directly grab the snake's seven inches
Of course, before you are sure that the snake is poisonous If it is not venomous, be sure not to be bitten
Here are the tips for being bitten by a venomous snake, identifying the seven inches of the snake and whether the snake is venomous
Snake venom treatment:
p>The local routine treatment of venomous snake bites refers to taking emergency measures as soon as possible after being bitten by a venomous snake, including early ligation, wound detoxification, cauterization, acupuncture, cupping detoxification, closed therapy and Topical medication, etc.
Cobra
Routine local treatment should be carried out at the scene of the snake bite. The faster the treatment, the better the effect. After the patient is bitten by a snake, immediately use 5 to 7 match heads to cauterize the wound to destroy the local snake venom; acupuncture or cupping can also be used to remove the venom from the wound or surrounding areas. In order to delay the absorption of snake venom from the wound, tie it tightly with a tape 3 to 5 cm proximal to the heart. The tightness of the ligation should be enough to block lymph and venous return but not hinder arterial blood flow. After that, every 15 to 20 minutes Relax once, 1 to 2 minutes each time. To avoid limb necrosis due to prolonged blood circulation disorder, the ligation should be removed immediately after the first aid treatment is completed (no more than 2 hours).
Within 1 to 2 hours after the snake bite, a cross incision is made at the wound, 2 to 3 cm long, and as deep as below the dermis. If no important nerves and blood vessels pass through, it can be as deep as 2 to 3 cm. If there are venomous fangs left in the wound, they should be removed. After repeatedly rinsing the wound, place the injured limb in a hanging position and place ice packs around it to reduce the absorption of snake venom. It should be noted that people bitten by venomous snakes should not undergo extensive detoxification to avoid continued bleeding from the wound. Tetanus antitoxin (TAT) should be used routinely.
Within 0.5 to 1 hour after the snake bite, if possible, perform local ring sealing as soon as possible, use 2 ml of the corresponding serum or 2000 U of trypsin, or 10 to 15% disodium edetate. 4 ml, mixed with 5 to 20 ml of 0.25 to 0.5% procaine solution and 5 mg of dexamethasone respectively. Inject in and around the center of the tooth mark to reach the muscle layer, or make a circular seal above the ligation, which can reduce symptoms. Very beneficial. For swollen limbs, traditional Chinese medicine can be applied externally to clear away heat, detoxify, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. For example, use Shuangbai Powder (Arborvitae Leaf, Rhubarb, Phellodendron, Peppermint, Zezhi) plus water and honey for hot compress, the effect is very good. Those with local necrosis or ulcers will be treated surgically according to traditional Chinese and Western medicine (or a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine).
Beware of snakes when marching
1. Except for cobras, snakes generally do not attack people actively. It only bites people when we approach the snake too closely without noticing it, or accidentally step on the snake. If you encounter a snake, if it does not attack you, do not disturb it, especially do not shake the ground. It is best to wait for it to escape or for someone to rescue you.
2. Snakes are temperature-changing animals and do not come out until the temperature reaches 18 degrees or above. In the south, snakebite incidence peaks from May to October. Especially in sultry rainforests or when it clears up after a rain, snakes often come out of their holes. Pay special attention to snake prevention before, after rain, and after floods.
3. The diurnal activities of snakes have certain rules. Cobras and king cobras are active during the day, bungaras are active at night, and vipers are active during the day and night. Snakebites are mainly concentrated between 9:00 and 15:00 during the day and between 18:00 and 22:00 at night. In addition, pit vipers are very sensitive to heat sources and have a habit of putting out fires. Therefore, when using open flames to illuminate the road at night, be careful to avoid being bitten by venomous snakes.
4. Wear high-top shoes (leather boots), long clothes and trousers, a hat, and fasten your collar, cuffs, and trousers.
5. Try to avoid marching or resting in the grass. If you have to, be careful to scare the snake (cobras will actively attack people. Alarming snakes may cause cobras to attack people. I don’t know how to use this.)
6. Try to avoid grabbing branches for leverage, and be careful to observe before cutting down shrubs or picking fruits. Some snakes often live on trees. Use sticks when turning over rocks or logs and digging holes; do not perform these activities with your bare hands.
7. If you encounter a venomous snake unexpectedly, stay calm and quiet, do not move suddenly, and do not attack it. You should take a long detour. If you are chased by a snake, you should run towards the hillside or turn left and right. Do not run straight or downhill.
8. Throw something next to it to distract it, or throw clothes towards it to cover it, and then run away.
9. If you have to kill a poisonous snake, you can take a long stick with good elasticity and quickly hit it at the back of the head, because there are seven inches of the snake, which is the heart.
10. Be wary of snakes that look dead, as they may be spying on their prey and pretending to be dead.
11. If you encounter a snake on a narrow road, you should step back and give it a chance to escape. It will do so obediently.
Prevent snakes in the camp
1. Avoid camping in areas with many snake and mouse holes, piles of rocks or bushes. Weeds around the camp should be eradicated. In addition, a deep drainage ditch can also better prevent the invasion of snakes and insects.
2. Sprinkle one or more of the following items around the camp: realgar. Lime powder. plant ash. Tobacco leaves soaked in water.
3. Check the package carefully before using it. Snakes may be hiding underneath. Tent zippers should be fully closed when camping. Check your bed before bed, pack your tent, and check your shoes in the morning. If you spot a snake, quickly back away and keep a certain distance.
4. If laying on the ground, you can use branches, leaves or thin bamboo as a mat, and try not to use weeds. Before going to bed, tap on the ground to remove any insects that may have crawled on it. When you wake up, you should first carefully look around your body. Otherwise, if there are snakes or insects nearby, you will be alerted by sudden movements.
5. Pay attention to keeping the camp clean and all garbage must be buried in time. Because as long as there are specks of grease, it is possible to attract ants, and the ants will attract lizards, and the lizards will attract snakes. Be careful not to burn fish bones as the smell can also attract snakes.

Snake's seven inches:
Snake has both three inches and seven inches
If the spine is injured or broken in the "three inches" area, it will It cannot raise its head to bite you; and the "seven inches" is where its heart is. Once it is fatally injured, it will naturally die. Of course, these "three inches" and "seven inches" are not the same for every snake, because the types and sizes of snakes vary.
In fact, "seven inches" refers to a general part, which is actually the heart of the snake. If the snake is less than seven inches, you can hit the snake's abdomen (snake is different from people, the heart is On the abdomen)! The area on the neck behind the snake's head is only three inches of the snake. After being beaten, the snake will only faint for a period of time, but it is not really dead. Because after hitting three inches, the snake's head will immediately become ischemic, so it will be temporarily unconscious for a period of time, but not for a long time, so it is best to hit the snake's abdomen!
How to identify whether a snake is poisonous:
How to identify venomous snakes and non-venomous snakes? It is not comprehensive enough for ordinary people to distinguish them simply by whether the head is triangular, whether the tail is thick and short, or whether the color is bright.
The distinction between venomous and non-venomous snakes is mainly based on the following points:
1. Venomous glands: Venomous snakes have venom glands, while non-venomous snakes do not. Venom glands evolved from salivary glands. Located on both sides of the head and behind the eyes, it is contained in the jaw muscles and can secrete venom. When a venomous snake bites something, the muscles surrounding the venom glands contract, and the venom is injected into the body of the bitten object through the venom duct and the tube or groove of the fangs to cause poisoning. Non-venomous snakes do not have this function;
< p>2. Venom tube: It is a tube that transports venom, connected between the venom glands and fangs. Only venomous snakes have venom tubes;3. Venomous fangs: Venomous snakes have venomous fangs, which are located in front or behind the non-venomous fangs on the maxilla, and are longer and larger than the non-venomous fangs.
So, which non-venomous snakes are easily confused with venomous snakes?
Several types of non-venomous snakes are often mistaken for venomous snakes. Due to their special appearance, brightly colored spots, and vicious temperament, some local people are often regarded as venomous snakes and panic. In fact, the bite of this snake It is harmless to the human body.
The non-venomous snake Yellow Chain Snake (also called Yellow Chain Snake) is easily confused with venomous snakes in appearance or color spots. Due to the black and yellow horizontal stripes on its back, it is often mistaken for a krait; it has a black back and white rings. Snakes, because they have black and white horizontal stripes on their backs, can easily be mistaken for bungara snakes; ruffed snakes (also called false vipers) have thick bodies and short tails, and are brown on the back with two rows of thick dark brown stripes. The patch has a slightly triangular head and looks very much like a viper or green snake; the green snake (also called the green bamboo snake) is often confused with the green bamboo leaf because its whole body is green.
