Many people who are afraid of snakes will have numb scalps when they see snakes. Snakes are a kind of vertebral reptiles, which rely on the spine of the body to carry out activities. There are many kinds of snakes in this world, and different kinds of snakes have different habitats. There are many venomous snakes in Africa, and they often kill local residents, so people are very afraid of snakes. Some snakes are huge and can quickly hang people or break their legs because of their great strength.

And some people are extremely small, like a chopstick, but their bodies are extremely poisonous. If bitten, even an elephant may be poisoned to death. For example, the Australian Esterling sea snake, Taipan snake, brown reticulated snake, king cobra, black mamba, etc., are the top five venomous snakes on the earth. In ancient times, medical technology was low, and there was no such thing as serum. If you were bitten by a poisonous snake, you would basically die.

Moreover, in ancient times, the jungle was dense, the population was sparse, and all kinds of snakes were flooded. Snakes are easy to encounter in the wild. When people are attacked by snakes, they will find ways to kill them directly to protect themselves and their families. So how do you fight so hard? To know that the snake is extremely aggressive and fast as lightning, we must be faster and more accurate than it, in order to win the possibility. So let's hear what the insiders have to say today.

Experts often say that you want to hit a seven-inch snake, but it is not to hit a seven-inch snake. Different types of snakes have different lengths. It is also impossible to visually detect where Qicun is. Some people think that Qicun is under the snake's head, which is the position of the heart, but some people say that the heart is hidden in the abdomen. There are different opinions, because different types of snakes have different physiological structures. of.

The so-called slapping the snake for seven inches is actually to hit the key point of the snake. The snake chordate mainly relies on the spine to move. If the notochord of the snake is interrupted, it will lose its ability to move or even die. Even if you hit the head of the snake, if you don't break its notochord, the snake's body can still be entangled for a while, so the key to the snake is on the notochord, not the head. And the closer to the head, the closer to the nerve center.

Since the snake has been crawling like an earthworm for a long time and slowly evolved, its feet have degenerated and crawled on the bone ridge in its body. Beating a snake and hitting seven inches, digging a tree requires digging the roots, is to grasp the key points, usually used as a metaphor to grasp the key points and focus on the key points. Seven inches is also often used to describe the key points and weaknesses of things.

Some snakes are poisonous, so in people's consciousness, snakes are mostly poisonous. They are symbols of bad omen and bad, but they are not absolute. For example, in Thailand, they use snakes as totems, which symbolize a kind of sacredness. Whether it is a symbol of auspiciousness or not depends on personal beliefs. They are also living animals in nature. Don’t kill a snake easily.
