The family hurriedly sent him to the hospital for treatment, but after one day of observation, he found that the little boy showed no signs of poisoning.

India is really a magical country, and there are often news about "people bite snakes".
After being bitten by a poisonous snake, the drunk man was furious and actually bit the snake backwards, even "chewing". Unfortunately, Mahto died the next day. Local residents said that even though the snake is very toxic, it does not mean that it does not contain other diseases if eaten raw.
is also a human biting a snake. Why is the 8-year-old boy bitten by a poisonous cobra but it’s okay? As a venomous snake, why didn’t the venom be released when biting?
Viophile
Viophile family can be divided into three types according to venomous fangs, namely: tube teeth, anterior groove teeth, and posterior groove teeth. Among them, cobras belong to anterior groove teeth. What are the characteristics of anterior groove teeth?
Let’s take a closer look at the differences between snake teeth.
non-venomous snake has no venomous fangs. Their teeth are all recurved teeth. When eating, you can fix the prey and send it into your mouth. Because there is no venomous gland , even if you are bitten by a non-venomous snake, you will not be poisoned. But they often eat mice and other wild animals, and they carry a variety of bacteria, even pathogenic bacteria in their mouths.
The venomous fangs of the tube-tooth venomous snake are very large and located in the front of the mouth. Their teeth have hollow structures. The venomous fangs are similar to syringes. After biting, the venom can inject venom into the other party's body. Because the venomous fangs are long and can inject snake venom into the prey, the venomous snake is very dangerous. If you are bitten by it, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible.
However, venomous snakes will fold the venomous fangs, so they will not bite themselves normally.
Back groove teeth are poisonous fangs inside the mouth, because it is difficult for us to see poisonous fangs, and some people will mistakenly think that they are non-toxic snakes.
The anterior groove teeth are located at the front end of the oral cavity. Unlike the canal teeth, the anterior groove teeth have not long lengths. Although the inside of the teeth is hollow, the second half is semi-open.
Because the anterior groove teeth are not big, they are not hidden in the mouth and can be used at any time. Cobra is a venomous snake with anterior groove teeth.
venom gland is located behind the eye and is connected to the front fang through a venom tube. There are very developed muscles on the venom gland. The contraction of the muscles can squeeze the venom glands. The venom produced and produced in the venom glands can be injected into the fang through the venom tube.
Among them, cobras can also spray poison. Through the contraction of muscles, venom will be sprayed from the semi-open teeth in the first half. If the venom is sprayed on the skin, as long as the skin is not damaged, the human body will not be poisoned, but if it is sprayed on the wound, or mucosa such as eyes, mouth, etc., it will also affect the human body.
The little boy in India is lucky that when the cobra bit him, he did not release venom, but instead bit him dry. Then why is this happening?
In fact, although venomous snakes have the ability to hurt people, venom is very precious for venomous snakes. The venom of venom also needs to consume energy to synthesize, and the amount of venom that can be stored is limited. Venomous snakes need to rely on it to avoid natural enemies and hunt, and they will save money in daily life.
Secondly, the venom has just used venom to hunt or avoid natural enemies. At this time, the amount of venom stored in the venom glands is not much, and even "used" it, the venom will bite it empty.
was bitten by a venomous snake at this time. Because the venomous snake injected into the body is small, and even no venom is released at all, the symptoms are mild and there is only a slight swelling.
But not everyone is so lucky. In most cases, when a snake feels a threat, it will bite the other party and inject a large amount of snake venom, striving to die quickly.
Before hibernation and when it just woke up, the venomous snakes on the verge of death will be more aggressive and release more venom. Especially even if the snake dies, the snake's head may still be vibrant. Once it is bitten by it, the snake will not vent its mouth, and the situation will be much more dangerous.
China Foshan Once there was a boss who was operating snake soup and was bitten by a dead poisonous snake. The snake soup shop is a husband-and-wife shop where the husband is responsible for slaughtering. The snake head after slaughtering is thrown into kitchen waste, and the wife is responsible for dealing with the snake head, internal organs and other garbage. There has never been any mistakes over the years.
Until one day, when the boss's wife was dealing with the snake's head again, she was bitten tightly by the snake's head that had been cut off. Her husband immediately seeks medical treatment, but on the way, his wife was already in a coma. Fortunately, after timely treatment, his wife saved her life.
Cases of bitten by the cut snake head often occur. This is really important because the snake will inject all the snake venom stored in the body into the other party's body, and the symptoms will become very serious.
