Snake wine is not unfamiliar to many people. “Snake wine” is common in rural areas, mainly because it is said that snake wine is very useful to the human body, so many people have to catch a snake to make wine even if they take risks.
Recently, a man reported that a snake bite him after the snake was soaked in alcohol for a year.
Moreover, it is said in the countryside that the more poisonous the snake is, the better the wine will be, isn’t it? Strictly speaking, this is completely a folklore without any scientific basis. However, even without any scientific basis, this trend of “snake wine” is still difficult to eliminate.
In 2001, a villager in Guangxi captured a cobra to make wine, and opened the jar of snake wine a year later. Unexpectedly, the snake suddenly jumped out of the jar and took a bite, and died due to ineffective rescue
In 2009, Hubei residents bought a slightly poisonous red-chain snake and went home and soaked it in 50-degree spirits. He took a hard bite. Fortunately, the treatment was timely, so it did not have a big impact.
In 2013, a woman in Heilongjiang caught a “soil ball” snake alive and soaked it in a wine vat. Three months later, when the peasant woman was changing the wine, she was accidentally bitten, and she survived after being rescued. So these examples tell us that “snake wine” is really too dangerous. Let’s take a look at what’s going on.
