Many people are afraid of snakes, when they go out and encounter snakes, the vast majority of people will choose to stay away at the first time to avoid being attacked by snakes, after all, most people are not professionals, who knows if the snakes they encounter are venomous?
However, for the purpose of showing off, showing off, hunting, or other purposes, there are still many "reckless men" who do not hesitate to risk their lives to take photos with them.
"I didn't know the danger at the time, but I only heard about four or five million snakes."
Recently, netizen Ms. Zhan posted a close-up photo of herself with a poisonous snake in Mangshan, Hunan Province on the Internet, which instantly aroused heated discussions among netizens: "Either take a photo of your life or take a settlement picture." ”
Later, it provoked serious criticism from the famous car blogger Han Lu, saying that the poisonous snake in the shot was the "Mangshan soldering iron head", which is a very poisonous and endangered species.
Almost instantly, an overwhelming flood of popular science information poured into Ms. Zhan, and after being popular science all night, she was also frightened into a cold sweat by her behavior during the day, and bluntly said, "I am not dying, I am sorry for my life."
Dangerous venomous snakes
Ms. Zhan said that she had no intention of dying, but she heard that this snake was four or five million a piece, and she happened to encounter it.
However, when netizens saw the true face of the poisonous snake, they were so frightened that they exploded, saying that if the poisonous snake really attacked her, with her group photo posture, it would definitely not be able to escape the attack, let alone waiting for rescue in this wilderness, I am afraid that the doctor will be cold before he starts.
Some netizens replied to Ms. Zhan: "I remember that in a documentary, an expert was bitten by a young snake with a soldering iron head in Mangshan, and because he didn't have time to go down the mountain, he directly cut off his finger to save his life." ”
"You dare to reach out so close, you are really ignorant and fearless, not a sister who can punch in everything."
"It's called Mangshan Soldering Iron Head, and you have the same two words as it, Head Iron."
"People are ready to eject, and you still say it's gentle and docile..."
Car blogger Han Lu scolded even more directly, saying that Ms. Zhan's behavior was ignorant and ignorant, and her outstretched hand to the poisonous snake during the filming was simply a signal of attack.
So what kind of snake is the Mangshan soldering iron head? Why did netizens react so violently?
On the current Internet, there are three kinds of poisonous snakes that have been praised as "altars", namely the well-known king cobra, the black mamba snake and the protagonist of this incident, Mangshan soldering iron head.
Although the details of these three poisonous snakes are not known, most people have heard of their "prestige" and avoid them.
Speaking of Mangshan soldering iron, I have to mention Dr. Chen Yuanhui, the snake doctor who discovered and named "Mangshan soldering iron", and he is the expert who has no time to treat and breaks his finger to save his life in the mouth of netizens.
Mangshan soldering iron head is the old name of the spearhead pit pit of Mangshan Yuan, which is a kind of snake endemic to the mainland, often distributed in Hunan and Guangdong provinces, and is also an endangered national first-class protected wild animal.
Although endangered and pitiful, known as the "giant panda among snakes", this snake is the strongest among snakes, and is a medium and large tubular tooth venomous snake in the genus Protospearhead pit pit of the family Viperidae, with a great amount of toxin.
A few years after being discovered by Chen Yuanhui, the Mangshan soldering iron head was included in the red list by international conservation organizations, and the price of a piece rose to more than 1 million on the black market, but fortunately, Chen Qinghui was able to keep his poverty clean, even if he lost his left middle finger, he still insisted on doing the research work to the end.
What does the Mangshan soldering iron head look like? The body is green, covered with small yellow-green or rust-colored spots, and there are many slightly larger, regular yellow-green triangular spots, see-through triangles, thick and long body, and is called "Little Green Dragon".
How toxic is the Mangshan soldering iron tip? What are the symptoms of being bitten?
Although the amount of poison is very large, the toxicity of the Mangshan soldering iron tip on the Internet is indeed exaggerated, and some people even boast that it is the strongest in China and even the world.
First of all, the venom of the soldering iron tip is mainly blood venom and contains a small amount of neurotoxin.
Because of the scarcity of the number, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, there were only 4 cases of Mangshan soldering iron head biting, and there have been no fatal cases so far.
However, according to the existing medical cases, after being bitten by this type of snake, the bite site will have edema, abnormal hematoma, abnormal coagulation function, and a large amount of coagulation factors will be consumed. If the condition drags on long enough, it can lead to wasting coagulopathy.
So how to treat a snake bite? Due to the scarcity of soldering iron tips, there is no specific antivenom on the market, but after the use of the Red Cross antivenom in Thailand, the symptoms of the coagulopathy caused by coagulant toxins were reversed, and the patient was eventually discharged from the hospital.
