That’s definitely not right!

No, a few days ago

A woman from Quanzhou, Fujian

After being accidentally bitten by a snake

I thought of this "routine"

I tried to suck out the poison with my mouth.

As a result, something big happened!

Early in the morning of June 24, a snakebite rescue station at a hospital in Quanzhou received a female patient whose right ring finger was bitten by a snake. Her mental state was not good and her right palm was swollen.

Snake bite on right ring finger

The doctor found during the examination

This patient has severe bleeding from the gums.

Upon inquiry, I learned

I found out that things are not that simple...

It turned out that after being bitten by a snake, the patient actually imitated the TV drama and sucked out the snake venom directly with his mouth.

The patient said that he was working in the fields at around 7 o'clock in the morning on the day of the incident and was accidentally bitten by a snake. He then squeezed the wound hard to squeeze out the snake venom.

Later, she thought of the plot in the TV series and simply used her mouth to suck out the snake venom.

Coincidentally, the night before the incident, the woman had blood blisters in her mouth, which she pricked with a toothpick, causing rupture of the oral mucosa... This was also the main reason why her gums bled severely after inhaling the snake venom.

Although the patient did not remember what the snake looked like, the doctor inferred that the snake that bit him was poisonous based on the relevant symptoms.

After treatment, the patient's condition has improved.

Doctor introduction

It is not advisable to suck out the poison with your mouth after being bitten by a snake

Because you suck with your mouth

Unable to suck out all the venom

After a person is poisoned, the snake venom quickly reaches various parts of the body through the circulation of blood and body fluids. After being bitten by a snake, some snake venom will remain on the surface of the body.

If the person who inhaled snake venom has gingivitis or other inflammation in the mouth, the venom will penetrate into the oral mucosa and cause harm to the human body.

To prevent further spread of the venom

Instead of sucking out the poison

If you are bitten by a venomous snake, the first thing you should do is stay calm, don't panic and run around, reduce your activities, and try to delay the spread of the toxin.

The wound can be rinsed with clean water. If conditions permit, it is recommended to rinse the wound with soapy water, salt water, tea water or hydrogen peroxide to promptly remove any remaining snake venom in the wound and surrounding areas.

The most important thing is

Go to a snakebite specialist hospital as soon as possible
