Recently, as temperatures rise, snakes have entered an active period. In early June, the Miyun District Fire Rescue Brigade in Beijing received 9 reports of snake catching incidents, and has dealt with a total of 30 such incidents since May. Try not to disturb a snake when encountering it, and do not intentionally drive it away. ”The person in charge of the Xicheng District Fire Rescue Brigade in Beijing said that if you encounter a snake while going out, you must remain calm and never actively attack or capture it to avoid provoking it. In such situations, people can slowly retreat, avoid detours, and snakes usually do not actively pursue humans. If snakes enter homes or public places and the public is unable to handle them on their own, they can call 119 or contact professional snake hunters. Do not catch snakes on your own. The relevant person in charge said that if unfortunately bitten by a snake, the public should try to remember the snake's body color and pattern as much as possible, so that doctors can provide targeted treatment. Try not to move after being bitten to avoid accelerating the spread of toxins. The fire department reminds the public that if they want to go to areas with lush vegetation such as mountainous areas and parks in the near future, they should try to wear long pants and high top shoes, and avoid wearing slippers or sandals into the grass. When camping in the wilderness, do not set up tents near grass, mud holes, or stone caves, and close the tent door at night. Avoid manually flipping over areas where snakes may inhabit, such as rocks and dead wood. Experts remind that snakes are more sensitive to irritating odors. When playing outdoors, the public can apply sulfur ointment or spray wind oil essence on their limbs to drive away snakes through their scent. (New Society)
