What to do if snake bite you.

in #travel7 years ago


Bite - poisonous bite:
If a bite has already occurred, which is very, but very rare, then you have a 1: 1 chance that it was not a poisonous snake. Mostly it is a snake or some "overwhelming earthworm"
If it was a poisonous snake then you have a chance of 1: 1 that it is a so-called "dry bite" (a snake bites but does not release a rare poison that necessarily needs for its own survival)
If the poison is released, then it is a banging and you have a 1: 1 chance that its poison is weak as if it was a beard or horn. It is a slightly poisonous hose.
Well, if all the conditions are met, and it really is a deadly poisonous snake, then jokes go aside and it is necessary to start acting immediately.
