Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and the grandma’s life was not affected. However, such things make people scared. In summer, the weather is hot and rainy, and it is in the active period of snakes and insects. You must be more careful when you are in the suburbs!
I don’t know when the snake became the embodiment of evil, and most people are afraid of talking about snakes. Some people who jumped into the river to find a short-lived person, and immediately fled to the shore when they saw a snake in the water. It seems that snakes are more terrifying than death!
Why did the snake become the incarnation of terror and evil?
In the eyes of the victims, the poisonous snake is equivalent to the god of death. PictureKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw/Visual China
From the altar to hell
When it comes to snakes, no one feels strange. And Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawAnd, in the myths we came into contact with in our childhood, snakes have the same status as gods. For example, Fuxi, the ancestor who drew the Eight Trigrams, had a human face and a snake body, and Nuwa, who repaired the sky and created humans, was also a snake body.

In the strange ancient book “Shan Hai Jing”, a total of 454 characters are recorded, of which 138 are snake-shaped, accounting for one-third of the total!
In ancient Chinese mythology, there are “Four Spirits of Heaven”, among which “Xuanwu” is a divine beast that combines turtles and snakes. The “Four Great Vajras” in Chinese Mahayana Buddhism are the guardians of the world, among which the “West Wide Heavenly King” holds a snake in his hand.

This is not only the Eastern world, but also the West. The goddess of wisdom and the goddess of victory in ancient Greek mythology both hold shields painted with snake patterns. The god of medicine is leaning on a crutch that is entrenched by a long snake.
Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw In the Western creation myth, in addition to Adam and Eve, there is also a snake that promotes civilization.

In ancient China, snakes were a kind of god. It is an important type of totem worship of our ancestors. The ancients had limited understanding of natural phenomena, had no scientific explanations for thunder, lightning, etc., and their fear of unknown forces gave birth to the concept of God.
The snake itself has “mysterious power”: it has no feet but moves like flying; it molts after hibernation like “rebirth”; once it is bitten by it, it will be disabled at the least, and at the worst, it will be fatal… The fear of the ancestors turned into awe, hoping to worship them for protection.
The ancients believed that snake shedding skin means “rebirth” Picture/Visual China
But with the societyIt will develop, people’s cognition is improving, the mystery surrounding the snake is fading, the animal instincts are gradually highlighted, and the divine halo based on the unknown and mystery gradually fades away.
The birth of the image of “dragon” basically replaced the original cultural and religious function of the snake. The image of the dragon is based on the snake and transcends the Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawsnake, which brings together other totem images. The “divine” elements such as the sense of mystery and power of the snake itself are transferred to the dragon.

After being extracted, more elements left are negative, such as vicious, cruel, cunning, weird, etc. So from the Stone Age, in the thousands of years of Chinese cultural history, the image of the snake is mostly a symbol of evil, except for the occasional metaphor of the dragon.
The Tang Dynasty’s “Bo Yizhi” records a story about a snake demon turning into a human and harming his life. It was included in “Taiping Guangji” in the Song Dynasty and was widely circulated under the name of “Li Huang”, leaving behind a literary image of “femme fatale” for later generations, and advising people not to be greedy for beauty.

The story of the “Legend of the White Snake” in the Ming Dynasty is one of the rare positive images left by the snake to the Chinese. In order to repay humanity (Xu Xian), the White Snake does not hesitate to exhaust his own cultivation and even sacrifices his life. He is gentle, kind, brave, and has feelings and righteousness. Baishe’s little sister Qingshe (Xiaoqing) is a person with a straightforward personality, hates evil, and is righteous and responsible.

After all, it has thousands of years of cultural immersion, and snakes still have a place among the twelve zodiac signs in China, and are closely behind the dragon. Obviously, despite the mixed feelings of love and hate, it is difficult for people to ignore its important position in the evolution of human thought!

The terrible venomous snake
Snakes are one of the most common reptiles in nature. Unlike other reptiles, their limbs have completely degenerated and their bodies are covered with scales, which crawls in windingly with the cooperation of muscles and scales.
There are more than 3,000 snakes around the world, and their size varies greatly. Currently, the largest breed in the world can grow to more than 10 meters and is as thick as an adult man’s waist. The smallest one is only about 10 cm long and the ballpoint refill is as thin as the ballpoint refill.

Although most snakes in nature are not poisonous, the deepest impression of snakes is still “toxic”. This label is probably very difficult to remove. We educate our children and say that snakes are highly venomous and cannot be touched!
Biologists have counted that there are about 650 poisonous snakes in nature, and the proportion of the total is not large. But the highly venomous snakes have a deep impression on people. For example, “Cobra”, although it is not the most toxic, it has almost become synonymous with insidious and evil because of its common, unique appearance, and a certain degree of aggressiveness!

The most toxic terrestrial snake in the world is the “fine scale Taipan Snake”. Its body size is not big, and it is only about two meters into a snake, and its appearance is also very ordinary, but its toxicity is 300 times that of a rattlesnake and 20 times that of a king cobra. The venom produced by a bite is enough to kill 100 adults or two African elephants!

The important reason why humans are afraid of poisonous snakes is that the poison of poisonous snakes spreads quickly. If a person is not rescued in time after being poisoned, the least they will be disabled, and the worst of them will die immediately. The most terrifying thing is the “Five-step Snake” (also known as the sharp-kissing viper), which will cause continuous bleeding when bitten by it, and it is extremely difficult to treat!
The terrifying thing about snake venom is that there are many kinds of snake venom, such as cardiac toxin, neurotoxin, hemolytic toxin, etc. Even if sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, you must first distinguish which snake venom is so that there are needles. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan 1990 cloth draw sexually anti-toxic treatment.

For ordinary people, it is very difficult to identify which kind of poison isBabaylan 1990 cloth draw. Besides, the bitten onesKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw When a person was sent to the hospital, he was probably not awake; even if he was still awake and saw the snake clearly, he could only describe the general information such as color, thickness, length, etc.
And, even if he accurately judged which kind of venomous snake was caused by the Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw, not every hospital just had the serum to relieve this snake venom. Therefore, we often see in the news that there is a matter of transporting serum to save people from thousands of miles away.

Generally speaking, if you are bitten by a non-toxic snake, you can treat the wound to avoid tetanus. But let the ordinaryIt is not that simple to judge whether the snake you encounter is a poisonous snake. Traditional methods are widely circulated, believing that the head of a venomous snake is triangular and the non-venomous snake is round or oval. But Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw has proved that this can only judge a part of the snake, and is not completely accurate.
“Triangular head” is not the accurate standard for judging venomous snakes Picture/Visual China
For example, many provinces in my country have golden ring snakes, silver ring snakes, etc., with oval heads, but highly toxic. The neck-edged snake with a triangular head is non-toxic!
So, the best way to ensure safety in the face of poisonous snakes is to take good care of themCinema 1950 witch cloth draw and avoid them! Once bitten by him, it will be extremely troublesome!

The attack speed is as fast as a ghost
Snake venom is terrible, but for snakes, their biggest killer weapon is not snake venom, but as fast as a ghost. For its prey, this is undoubtedly a nightmare! Babaylan 1990 cloth draw
Scientists at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette in the United States have conducted experiments and the results show that non-venomous snakes attack as fast as venomous snakes, and only 50-90 milliseconds are needed to start an attack to hit the target!
The attack speed of the snake makes its prey difficult to resist. Picture/Visual China
What speed is this? Let’s compare the data and understand: it takes 14-151 milliseconds for mammals to receive signals to stimulate muscle reactions, and then to generate visible body movements.
There is an idiom in China called “moving like a rabbit”, which describes agile reaction, but the speed of a rabbit is much slower than that of a snake!
“Move as if you are leaving a rabbit” is far from describing the speed of snakes. Picture/Visual China
The attack speed of snakes is so fast that it means that they can already encounter a fatal attack before the prey can react or Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw escape!
In addition, many snakes are good at concealing. They are in the dark and you are in the light, and the success rate of attacks will be even higher! Once the target is locked, it will be foolproof!
Similarly, with such speed, it can effectively withstand the attacks of other predators.

This also responds to a question: snake venom is so terrible, why are most snakes in nature not poisonous? The answer is very simple. If you have speed and strength, you can’t even need poison! Especially the python, it can tangle it to death after biting its prey.
Not only humans, but also large animals in nature such as bison, hippo, crocodile, porcupine, etc., will be attacked by pythons.
So, in people’s eyes, giant Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawpythons are often synonymous with “monster”, “devil” and “terror”! Its image of Babaylan 1990 cloth draw also often appears in mythological stories or horror movies.

The cut-off snake head can still bite people
As for snakes, you must have heard some horrible news, such as a poisonous snake that has been soaked in a wine jar for a long time, but it can still bite people when opening the jar to get wine; the cut-off snake headBabaylan 1990 clothes draw will also jump up and hurt people!
It sounds like a zombie movie! However, this information is not a mess, and it can happen in reality.
The cruelty of the snake is often made into horror movies Photo/Visual China
Biologists explain that snakes have strong vitality and are cold-blooded animals. They have the characteristics of hibernation. They will not be able to eat and move when the temperature is below 15℃. Therefore, it is not impossible to survive in a harsh environment for a period of time.
In addition, the nervous system of reptiles is widely distributed. After some of the bodies are cut off, they can move instinctively without the command of the brain. When the gecko encounters danger, it will break its tail to survive, and the broken tail can still twist on the spot. This is an example. Once the cut off snake’s head is touched, it will open its mouth and bite with conditioned reflex. It is also very dangerous to be bitten by the head of the poisonous snake!
Be careful! The falling snake head can hurt people even if it is picture/visual China
The cruel and terrifying thing about snakes is that they greedily devour any prey they capture, no matter what the prey is or how big it is. In nature, it is not difficult for people to see extreme examples: some pythons swallowedKomiks 1960 witch clothes DrawAnimals with too large or sharp furs will be strangled to death, or have their intestines and stomachs broken!
Statistics show that snakes rank second in the ranking of casualties caused to humans by various animals, second only to mosquitoes. And this “second” gives people the feeling thatFar Babaylan 1990 cloth draw is far more terrible than mosquitoes!
Snakes hurt people the most but the most terrifying Picture/Guoke.com
The Scientific American magazine has selected the things that humans fear the most, and snakes rank first. The fear of snakes has probably entered the genes of primates. Not only people, but the little monkey also reacted strongly when he saw the snake.
Study shows that snakes play an important role in the origin and evolution of primates – their existence forces primates to become smarter and have better eyesight!
Any species created by nature has its function Picture/Visual China
It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. The best protection we can do for such “violent” animals is to understand them and avoid them in every way.
Snakes are an important part of the biodiversity in nature. At present, wild snakes have basically been included in the protection scope. We do not disturb or hurt them, this is to protect ourselves.
We will all be beneficiaries when living in harmony with the species created by nature!
