On 14 July, in the middle of the summer, snake activity peaked and there were frequent incidents of snake-like disturbance. In recent days, there's been an accident at the East Lake Street Office in Hong Kong, Guizhou. - A 1-metre-long cobra appeared in the village ' s toilet, and firefighters made an emergency move to catch it successfully.
According to information received from Heung-in in Guizhou, firefighters quickly arrived at the scene with equipment such as snake traps, snake bite gloves and specialized snake traps. At the direction of the villagers, the firefighter found this impassioned visitor in the corner of the toilet.
Because of the dim light inside the toilet, it was difficult to identify the type of snake at first, until the snake made a threatening noise and experienced firefighters judged it to be more toxic cobras by their sound characteristics.
In order to ensure safety, the fire rescue team quickly developed a catch programme: one team member entered the toilet with a snake tortler, another teamman was ready to catch a snake bag to catch, and the rest were on perimeter alert to prevent snakes from fleeing to other regions.
Firefighters, with their skill and precision, caught the snake seven inches and successfully overpowered the cobra in just three minutes.
A 1 metre long cobra in a rural toilet in Guizhou, threatened with hiss when caught.
The fire department reminds that the summer fall festival is a high-prevalence period for snake bites and that snakes are not allowed to deal with it without delay and that calls for help should be made immediately and in a safe manner.
If a snake is accidentally bitten, do not panic in order to accelerate the spread of the toxin and call 120 for medical assistance as soon as possible.
In waiting for rescue, snakes can be photographed or features such as head shapes, colours, etc. can be remembered and doctors can be helped to accurately match antivenoms.
At the same time, the wound must be decorated, tattered with moderate strips at 10 cm close to the end of the wound (relaxation every 30 minutes) and washed with water.
Particular attention needs to be paid to avoiding the wrong methods of first aid, such as sucking, cutting and burning.
