Are there poisonous snakes in summer?

The reporter learned from the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine that most of the snake injuries in our city occurred from May to 165438+ 10, with the highest incidence in June, July and August. From the occurrence area, most snake victims were bitten by roadside, parks and residential areas, and some vegetable farmers were bitten by vegetable gardens and greening workers while working in green belts. In terms of time, snake bites mostly occur at night. The reason is that the staff of Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital said, "Snakes often come out at night and in the early morning. In a year, snakes are most active in summer and autumn. Especially in summer, hot weather makes snakes irritable. At this time, they are the most aggressive, have the deepest wounds, and release the most venom when biting. "

It is reported that since July, all the patients treated in Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital have been successfully treated, and most of them have fully recovered. However, some patients bitten by cobra will have limb necrosis and may have sequelae of limb dysfunction.

Professional snake catchers catch six or seven snakes a day.

Yan Bohai, a professional snake catcher, worked in a pest control company in Shenzhen 18 years. Since March, he has been catching snakes every day and left his footprints in parks, communities, factories and schools in Shenzhen. In the past two months, Yan Baihai went to three places to catch snakes on average every day. When the reporter contacted him, he had just completed a snake-catching operation in a certain district of Baoan. 18 years of snake catching experience, let him know the law of snake infestation in Shenzhen. Yan Hai said that from July to September, the weather in Shenzhen was hot and rainy, which was the high incidence of snakes. There has been a lot of heavy rain in Shenzhen recently. Yan Baihai reminded that snakes are most active in Chu Qing, where it is hot and rainy or after rain. Therefore, before and after the rain, citizens should pay attention to avoid places with lush vegetation.

According to Yan Baihai's memory, a snake appeared in a residential area in Futian District at the beginning of this month. Yan Bohai went to catch them, catching six or seven snakes a day, mostly poisonous snakes. Yan Hai said that from his years of experience in catching snakes, there is a high probability of poisonous snakes appearing in Shenzhen, among which cobra and bamboo leaf green are the most common.

Yan Hai's experience has also been confirmed by the data. According to incomplete statistics, there are thirty or forty kinds of snakes in Shenzhen. Snakes are recorded in almost all parks and greenways in Shenzhen. It is understood that bamboo leaf green, silver ring snake and cobra are the top three poisonous snakes in Shenzhen, and their traces may appear in parks and communities in the city.
