How to know if a snake bite is poisonous or not

 It is about 11 o’clock at night sometime in July last year. A young man rushes in. The young man is breathing very frequently. They are absolutely embarrassed with fear. He bit the snake at his feet. The young man is pleading with me to save him. I took courage to sit down and observed the snake pole. There were no signs of the poisonous snake bite but the young man was screaming in fear. The young man has no effects of pain but is experiencing pain in his brain.

 It was July 2019, around 9.30 pm. A young man from a rural village in Bardalani district of Dhemaji called to say that his father had been bitten by a snake. Feeling some pain. He needs urgent treatment. There is already a strict lockdown in view of COVID-19, so there is a lack of vehicles to bring him. I called the health officer of Dhemaji Civil Hospital to ask about the antivenom injection. And he told them that he was there. But now, due to the lockdown, it is difficult to get him to the hospital. The victim’s life was in danger if he was not treated in time. So in such a situation, it is very important for us to know one thing. Whether the snake that bites the person is poisonous or non-poisonous.

So today we will discuss what to do if you are bitten by a snake, there is an easy way to know if the snake is poisonous or not. There is a method by which our ancestors could determine whether snakes were painless or poisonous, and there is an effective homeopathic medicine for poisonous snake bites. I will also give you details on how to use this medicine.

 Every year in our country, 81,000 people are victims of snake bites and about 11,000 of them die. Currently, there are more than 2,900 species of snakes in 15 families in the world. Some of these are poisonous or fatally painful, while the rest are almost painless.

When a person is bitten by a snake, there will be pain at the first pole, thorns will appear like holes in the skin and blood will come out It is also seen from. Some people die not from snake bites but from heart attacks after being bitten.

 When a snake bites a person, the area will become red and swollen and very painful within 15/20 minutes. Some will vomit because the person is very frightened after being bitten by a snake and suffers from vomiting, dizziness and other problems. Some snakes turn blue and bleed all over the body about an hour after being bitten. There is also bleeding from the nose, ears, and mouth, and the person may die within 4-5 hours of kidney and heart failure. The venom of such snakes is called hemorrhoid venom.

 Some snakes bite at the bite site, ie if they bite the hand, they will slowly become paralyzed from the bite area. Perhaps one limb or the whole body is paralyzed. The person will feel like something is stuck in the throat and slowly have difficulty breathing, the body will lack oxygen and the person will die. Death will occur within 15-20 minutes. There will be absolutely no time for treatment. Its venom works so fast. This type of snake venom is called neurological venom.

 Snakes that have hemorrhagic venom have plenty of time to bite. And in most of our villages, snake bites are seen near the base. This is likely to kill the person. Therefore, if you are bitten by a snake, go to the District Health Center immediately and get an anti-venom injection. Timely anti-venom injections will save the patient’s life.

 Now there is another problem. There is so much fear in the minds of our people as soon as the snake bites that all hope of life seems to be lost. I mentioned first of all a young man who is completely depleted of strength, breathing heavily. I tried to comfort him so much but it took a long time to ease his anxiety. It was only after giving him medicine that he became mentally stable.

 Similarly, about 30 percent of people die of a heart attack after being bitten by a snake. So the person who is bitten by a snake should not be afraid. The next step should be taken patiently.

How to determine whether a pole snake is venomous or non-venomous.

 You must have seen that some of our business establishments or some shops are hung with a lemon stick and a couple of pepper stitches in front of them. There is a belief among some people that the sister of the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, is named Alakshi, meaning ill-fated. And when this negligence enters people’s homes, people become poor and when it enters a business, the business goes bankrupt. These lemons and peppers are tied because Alakshi likes spicy and sour. And when these spicy and bitter people are hung at the entrance, when the unseen comes, they eat the spicy and bitter at the entrance and dance happily and leave the door. This is faith. In fact, in the past, the roads were not smooth and there were no cars. Most of the long journeys required the use of a bell carriage. and in the midst of the vast wilderness, since many people

 The snake bit him. And many people suffered from dehydration on long journeys. So they understood that lemon is very important in relieving dehydration and took lemon with them. They also used lemon to help dry wounds in the jungle. And how would they know that the snake was poisonous when it was bitten in the wilderness? Then they took some of these hot peppers with them to find out. After the snake bite, they ate the pepper, if they felt a burning taste on the tongue after eating the pepper, they confirmed that the snake was non-poisonous and if they did not feel the burning taste of the pepper, they confirmed that the snake was poisonous.

 So we can do that too. and the snake should cut at the point of the pole with a sharp weapon and carefully drain the blood. Do not cut too deep, as cutting the vine will cause problems. Also make sure that the blood from the snake bite does not touch another person.

Now let’s come to homeopathic medicines

 What homeopathic remedy should I use to save the life of a snake pole victim? You have already seen that many experts are widely promoting a homeopathic remedy called naja 200 on social media like Facebook, YouTube. This medicine is made from the venom of the king cobra. Therefore, if you are bitten by a snake, take this medicine every 15 minutes and apply it to your tongue to reduce the effects of snake venom. If you are bitten by a cobra, this medicine will help reduce the pain and save lives. Other snakes will also have less pain. However, the person will be taken to the District Medical Center immediately. Don’t waste time taking him to another hospital.
