Are there venomous snakes in Shanghai?

There are venomous snakes in Shanghai.

How to avoid:

1. When hiking, avoid inaccessible grass, dense forests, etc. In addition, you should put on long pants and rubber shoes before walking into the grass, and tie the cuffs of your pants tightly to prevent snake attacks.

2. In the early morning and evening after rain, it is best not to walk in an environment where venomous snakes are active. After a flood, venomous snakes swim most frequently.

3. Observe carefully before turning over stones or picking wild fruits, and use bamboo poles to beat them.

4. Try to avoid resting in the grass. When camping, sprinkle realgar, lime powder or tobacco leaves soaked in water around the tent, and then completely close the tent zipper.

5. When seeing a venomous snake, stay calm and quiet. Do not move or run suddenly. Instead, go around slowly or back away. Do not attack if you are not sure. Do not run straight if you are chased by a snake. Or run straight downhill, or take a roundabout route.

6. Snakes hate Fengyoujing. It is best to bring some with you when you go hiking in the wild. In addition, you should also bring some snakebite medicine with a wide range of treatments.
