A Toxicologist that operates a snake farm which harbours 4,700,000 snakes in Nasarawa State was in Brekete Family Radio this morning.
He provided the following information on the things that attract snakes to the house are:
- Egg shells can attract snakes 15 kilometers away.
- Chickens
- Rats
- Frogs
And whatever it can swallow.
All snakes are po!sonous except python.
But the speed of the circulation and strength of the po!son differ.
Tying a bandage or tourniquet around snake b!te causes swelling and can paralze the part of the body b!tten by the snake.
Trekking after a snake b!te increases the rate/speed of circulation of the po!son which can result to d..e..a..th.
Drinking cold water from the fridge slows down the flow of the po!son.
Being calm and reducing movement helps.
Chewing pawpaw leaf and swallowing the liquid stops the flow of snake po!son till treatment is received.
If a snake spits its d..eadly v..enom into the eye, it can be treated if the v!ctim seeks help on time.
But if the venom enters the nose, the v!ctim can d!e in a matter of minutes.
But more d..angerous than snake is wall Gecko. It is d..eadlier than snake.
If it leaks a tooth brush and someone uses the brush to clean teeth without washing it first, the person will d!e.
The sh!t can k!ll. So cover your pot and water containers.
Forward to help other people.
