  PS: This chapter is free of charge and it's about how to deal with venomous snakes.

  After being bitten by a venomous snake, use soft rope or belt or other strip-shaped objects that can be found to perform ligation, in order to slow down the reflux of lymph and blood, and temporarily prevent the body from absorbing the snake venom.

  The location of the tourniquet should be determined by the location of the bite wound and the degree of local swelling. For example, for finger or toe bites, the tourniquet can be applied at the base of the finger or toe. For bites on the back of the hand or wrist joint, apply the tourniquet above the elbow joint. For bites on the foot, apply the tourniquet above the ankle or knee joint.

  The tourniquet should be applied as quickly as possible, if the time exceeds half an hour, the tourniquet site should be above the bite site by one joint. If bitten 2-3 hours ago, tourniquet has no effect at all. Special attention to tourniquet is to loosen for 1-2 minutes every 20 minutes or so.

  After a venomous snake bites, there will be venom flowing around the surrounding skin. Washing and flushing can wash away the venom that adheres to the wound or skin, reducing the absorption of venom by the wound. Flushing is best done with physiological saline, hydrogen peroxide, soap water, etc.

  In the wild, you can use tea water or cold boiled water to rinse with, and adding edible salt to cold boiled water is most effective. If none of these are available, you can use your own fresh urine (although it's a bit disgusting, but saving lives is more important). After quickly rinsing the wound, you should immediately do detoxification treatment.

  After flushing the wound, it's best to disinfect the wound with alcohol and then use anything that can cut through skin, preferably something that has been disinfected. The wound should be opened up, but not too deeply, just enough to cut through the skin between the two fang marks. At the same time, make several small incisions around the wound, about the size of a grain of rice, and deep enough to reach under the skin.

  This can prevent the wound from closing and promote the smooth flow of venom. Use a knife to make an incision in the shape of a "rice" character or a longitudinal cut. The deeper the incision, the better it reaches the subcutaneous tissue. However, attention must be paid to avoid nerves and blood vessels, and at the same time, the incision cannot be too deep, otherwise, it will cut off the blood vessels and nerves, causing unstoppable bleeding, leading to rapid spread of snake venom, or causing neurological dysfunction in patients.

  This method is simple and effective, it's an emergency measure for snake bites that occur in the wild. The method involves using one's mouth to suck out the venom from the wound. This method can effectively remove the snake venom, but it must be done while spitting out the venom at the same time, and each time, the mouth must be rinsed with clean water to prevent the toxin from being swallowed and causing poisoning. However, it is crucial to note that the person sucking out the venom must not have any oral ulcers, tooth decay, or gum disease.
