What happens in your body when you swallow a poisonous snake in snake wine while it is sleeping?

Many people like to make their own wine, such as Schisandra, ginseng, and deer antler, as long as they can eat them. A few years ago, it was popular to use ants to make wine, and the dense ants piled up in the wine, which looked uncomfortable. The effects of the brewed wine are also hyped in a variety of ways, which can be summed up in two words "Dabu".

For this reason, many people rush to it. Whoever doesn't have two bottles of brewed wine at home seems to be short of something. Some people use snakes to make wine, but have you heard of poisonous snakes making wine? What happens if you eat a poisonous snake that has been soaked for several years?

Maybe it will bite you before you bite it

In 2002, Mr. Li from Hubei was bitten by a snake in the snake wine. It turned out that a year ago, Mr. Li heard that the snake wine had good effects, so he soaked the poisonous snake bamboo leaf green in the wine. A year later, Mr. Li wanted to try it. He just touched the snake in the wine with his utensils. Unexpectedly, the snake jumped up and bit Mr. Li. Fortunately, Mr. Li was treated in time, and there was no major incident. If you are bitten by Zhu Yeqing in the wild, you will die. And such an event is not an exception.

In 2014, a woman in Heilongjiang was also bitten by a poisonous snake making wine at home. She listened to the remedies before, and used the pit viper to make wine, saying that it was good for her health. After a few months of soaking, the woman had to open the jar and drink a small glass of snake wine every day, and soon the jar was consumed. The woman was about to add some new wine to the jar, but in the process, the snake in the jar suddenly gave her a sip. Fortunately, the woman sought medical treatment in time and was fine.

Like humans, snakes use their lungs to breathe, and it is definitely impossible to breathe after being immersed in liquid for a long time. Shouldn't the snake that has been soaked for a year drown long ago? Why is the snake in the snake wine still alive?

The concentration of ordinary medical alcohol has also reached 75%, but generally only liquor of about 60 degrees is used for making wine. It really doesn't do much damage to venomous snakes. Venomous snakes also have the characteristic of hibernation, plus they are super adaptable. When they are put into white wine for a period of time, we think they are dead, but they are only dormant, and they will wake up after a while.

Moreover, the bubble wine will not fill the entire jar, there will always be a little space left, and when the seal is not particularly good, the air is enough for the oxygen that the snake needs when it is dormant. After a year or two, the lid is opened, and if it encounters a dormant poisonous snake during the drinking process, it will think that it is an attack by the enemy, and will respond quickly and bite people fiercely. At this time, because of their long-term "abstinence", the venom content in their mouths is also extremely high. Therefore, if you are bitten by a wine-infused snake, you must seek medical attention immediately.

Snake venom is a venom secreted by the venom glands of the snake head, and its main component is protein. Currently known snake venoms mainly include neurotoxicity, blood circulation toxicity and mixed toxicity.

Studies have shown that snake venom has a great role in medicine, but snake venom must be separated, purified, processed and other steps before it can be used. There are no scientific studies yet to show that putting live snakes in liquor has miraculous effects.

Since the snakes in the snake wine may be suspended from death, will the wine made by the poisonous snakes turn into a life-threatening soup?

A citizen of Nanchang brewed a bottle of snake wine for 22 years. This is definitely his heart. He said that the more the wine is, the more fragrant it is. In addition, the wine is also blessed by poisonous snakes such as Bamboo Leaf Green and Golden Ring Snake. According to the older generation, the effect of this wine is great, and it is definitely a big boost. In 2014, the gentleman opened the lid and was ready to taste it. After a cup of it, he saw a flower in front of his eyes. Unexpectedly, he lost his sight in a short time.

He said that the snake wine was never opened when it was brewed, but as time passed, its color became darker and darker. He also swore that it was a good thing, but as soon as he drank a cup, people went in. hospital.

What happens if a snake eats snake wine?

Some old people say that the more poisonous the snake, the better the wine. Therefore, many people choose poisonous snakes when making snake wine. They believe that alcohol can detoxify, and they will definitely die after putting the snake in the liquor for a while. Therefore, the snake will not be cleaned up when making wine, and the whole snake will be put in directly.

Even after drinking the snake wine, take the snake out and eat it. But they completely ignored whether the viper was still alive. If you swallow a live snake, the snake will bite you right away. Its teeth are connected to venom glands, and its venom will slowly drain from its teeth and seep into your body. After that, the body will feel paralyzed, convulsed, and may be cool after 15 minutes.

Even eating dead venomous snakes is dangerous. Although the alcohol in snake wine can decompose snake venom, it takes a long time. The stronger the toxicity, the longer the decomposition time. Therefore, if the soaking time is too short, the snake venom will still remain in the body of the snake that is eaten.

Even though stomach acid can digest a snake within two hours, the venom is fine if it doesn't come into contact with your bloodstream. Once it comes into contact with an internal wound, such as a mouth sore, the venom will still enter your bloodstream.

Snake wine is really dangerous

Some old people say that the more poisonous the snake, the better the wine. Therefore, many people choose poisonous snakes when making snake wine. They believe that alcohol can detoxify, and they will definitely die after putting the snake in the liquor for a while. Therefore, the snake will not be cleaned up when making wine, and the whole snake will be put in directly.

But they completely ignored the fangs in the snake's mouth, which are connected to venom glands, and once the snake dies, its venom slowly drains from its teeth and slowly seeps into the wine. Although alcohol can decompose snake venom, it takes a long time. The stronger the toxicity, the longer the decomposition time.

Therefore, if the soaking time is too short, snake venom will remain in the liquor. Moreover, the living environment of poisonous snakes is in the wild. Many poisonous snakes feed on their own kind, mice, etc., and there are more or less parasites on their bodies.

Putting a live viper directly into a wine bottle is a very wrong behavior. Because there are too many bacteria and feces, the wine made with live snakes will not only have no effect, but will cause other diseases.

The safer way to make snake wine is, after catching a snake, kill the snake, pull out its teeth and let blood, break open the stomach to take out the snake’s gallbladder, internal organs, etc., wash it with high-quality liquor, and then soak it in whole or cut sections. , to avoid biting incidents. But even if the snake wine has been soaked for a long time, the toxicity of the snake is all degraded by alcohol, and people may still be poisoned after drinking it.

In fact, alcohol can not only decompose snake venom, but also act as an antiseptic. If it is under the action of high-strength alcohol, the snake body is difficult to rot. However, alcohol is a very volatile substance. If the sealing work is not in place during the wine making process, the alcohol will evaporate, and during this process, the alcohol content will not be as high as it used to be.

At this time, the snake will be decomposed by bacteria, resulting in substandard microbial flora in the jar, and the wine will be broken and cannot be drunk. Like the gentleman in Nanchang, although the snake wine has been treasured for 22 years, it has actually turned into rotten wine long ago, and drinking a sip is equivalent to drinking the old rotten corpse of the snake.

There are strict procedures for making wine with snakes and snakes. It does not mean that you can catch the snakes and put them in the bottle. You need to starve the snakes and wash the snakes... I also need to remind you that many poisonous snakes have been listed. Even some farmers have released snakes into the forest. Casually catching snakes is likely to be punished.

Just in 2019, the Nanjing police discovered that a villager had killed more than 20 pit vipers to make wine, and the parties were arrested by the police. In 2020, someone caught and killed more than 100 "three-you" snakes and was sentenced to 6 years in prison and a fine of 10,000 yuan.
