Tips for preventing snakes in mountain tourism

Every holiday, people who love traveling are thinking about where to visit, and many young people even consider exploring "deep mountains and old forests" as their first choice. In fact, these places with high mountains and dense forests are the places where venomous snakes are most common. The turn of summer and autumn is the peak season for snakes. They usually hide in woods, grass and bamboo forests. For example, Zhangjiajie, which everyone likes to visit, is famous for its cobras, bungaras, iron heads, and green bamboo leaves. The Yangtze River Basin, such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, is famous for its vipers.

For this reason, it is recommended that everyone bring elastic bandages and lighters (matches) when traveling. Don’t panic when you are accidentally bitten by a snake. You should carefully look at the shape of the snake that bit you, whether the wound after the bite is painful, whether it has become swollen, and whether it has turned black (this will help the doctor prescribe the right medicine for you). "). It is best to apply a bandage immediately, and the bandage position is the upper part of the wound. At the same time, use fire to "burn" the bitten area and clean the wound with water to force out some of the toxins. In addition, after being attacked, the injured person should keep the injured part hanging down and avoid movement to prevent the snake venom from invading other organs.

I also remind everyone that snakes are short-sighted and can only look straight at things. They have no eardrums in their ears and do not respond to sounds in the air. It mainly relies on its tongue to identify predators and find food. If a citizen encounters a snake and 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. If you are chased by a snake, because it runs very fast, you must not compete with it and run straight forward, but run in a curve so that the snake cannot see you, and you may escape.
