Why don t snakes die after a year of soaking in wine?

The history of snake wine in our country is very far, because as early as more than 2,000 years ago, it was recorded in the Shennong Materia Medica, which believed that the medicinal value of snakes could invigorate blood and dispel wind. But I don't know how much time it was, the snake into medicine evolved into snake wine. Although a complete system has been formed in the process of brewing for thousands of years, in recent years, accidents in the process of brewing snake wine have occurred frequently, and there are people who drink snake wine to cause dizziness and dizziness, paralysis of the whole body, and even heart failure to stop breathing, and even worse, before drinking snake wine, just open the lid of the snake wine that has been brewed for a long time, and be bitten to death by the snake soaked in the wine.

What's going on?

There are two main reasons why snakes don't die after soaking for so long. First, as a cold-blooded animal, the snake needs to hibernate, which is also a self-protection mechanism, that is, it can reduce its metabolic rate when the temperature is very low and enter a dormant state. At this time, you see the snake motionless and think that he has been soaked to death, but in fact he is just asleep.

Second, everyone thinks too much about the process of the snake soaking in wine, thinking that it is enough to throw the snake into the wine, usually the density of the wine jar is not enough, so that the air enters along Tan Yan, plus there is too much space left above the jar, which does not drown the snake's mouth and nose. Under normal circumstances, snakes adjust their venom through hunting and metabolism, and in dormant conditions, the venom will accumulate in the body in order to wake up to the fatal blow. So, of course, at this time, the viper is awakened, and the situation of that person will be very difficult.

So why is everyone still so obsessed with snake wine?

It is rumored among the people that snake moxibustion can strengthen the body, invigorate blood and relieve pain, so even if the news of snake wine accidents is frequent, there will be many people who drink wine with a fluke mentality, but in fact, scientific research shows that snake wine is not as magical as it is circulated among the people, and even hides many potential safety hazards. Although the active enzymes in some of the toxins in snake venom will gradually lose their activity in rice wine containing 40%, the alcohol content in snake wine does not always match the snake venom content, and some toxins remain in the wine to a greater or lesser extent. If the person who drinks alcohol has a wound in the mouth or digestive tract, it may cause poisoning, and snake wine is mixed with various bacteria and viruses in addition to snake venom, which may be the final blow for people with low immunity.

From this point of view, although snake wine has been circulated in our country for thousands of years, many news about accidents caused by snake wine are warning us that this method is not advisable, and it is full of dangers, do not be superstitious about those who boast of the powerful health care functions of snake wine, and do not soak and drink snake wine if it is not necessary.

There are not only snakes but also a large number of Chinese medicinal materials in snake wine, and when the wine bottle is artificially moved, the shaking of the wine happens to make the snake's head float on these medicinal materials, and the snake can keep breathing. Most sparkling wine bottles are not completely sealed, outside air can enter the bottle, and the snake inside has entered a state of suspended animation, which is a self-protection function of the animal to play dead in dangerous situations, in order to fool the soaker.

Because the alcohol content is a little too low, it will not affect the snake at all, and it is possible that the seal is not very good when soaking the wine.

This movie has actually ushered in some expectations from many people, especially in the switching of the whole picture, which makes people feel very comfortable and look forward to his release.

Snake soaking wine is a kind of health preservation left over from ancient China, which is to soak the snake with some Chinese medicinal materials with high liquor, and drink it after leaving it for a period of time to achieve a certain effect of dispelling dampness and tonifying the channel.

Snake wine is known as "the treasure of wine", and it is also known as "God-given medicine".Snakes do have strong medicinal value, but snake wine is not something that ordinary people can try, especially with poisonous snakes such as "cobra" is more dangerous, this kind of snake is very toxic, not only can not drink the wine brewed with it, but even external use is very dangerous, snake venom will penetrate into the body through **, endangering health.

It is an extremely dangerous operation to make wine with poisonous snakes, but there are many amateurs who firmly believe that poisonous snakes are more effective in making wine, in fact, this is a wrong understanding, and it is very likely that their lives will be in danger. It is precisely with this misunderstanding that many old people like to use poisonous snakes to make wine, and they also like to show off, and they will invite friends to taste together, and if they don't get it, they will "good friends, go together"!

Especially venomous snakes. You chop off its head and leave it there for hours, and its head won't die, and it will still bite you when your hand or something else is close to its head.

The snake is a cold-blooded animal, its digestion is quite slow, listen to the old man, a large snake weighing a few pounds,It only needs to eat food two or three times a year, so it can tolerate more than any other animal.

In addition, drinking this medicinal wine should also be based on your body, if you do not need to drink this medicinal wine, it is recommended that you do not drink it well, because it is a medicine with three poisons, and if you are sick, you still have to go through the doctor's diagnosis and determine that you need to drink it again, do not take it blindly.

Wine can soak dead snakes because alcohol can denature proteins and kill snakesAt the same time, it prevents the activity of microorganisms that live on decay from the outside world, which makes the overall appearance of the snake can be maintained in a good state for a long time, and the microbial content in the wine is relatively low, as long as the snake wine does not drink alcohol poisoning, there is generally no harm.

The scales of the snake can reduce water consumption to a certain extent, and in turn can resist the invasion of alcohol for a long time, if the alcohol content is low, the snake may survive for a while. However, this can basically be ruled out, because the first point of making snake wine is to use high-grade liquor, and some pay attention to putting the snake first and then pouring wine, so that the snake can be killed by alcohol earlier.

On the whole, snakes are now our protected creatures, and snakes are also an important environment in the biological chain, snakes can prey on "mice" and other biological populations, so it is a very good thing for human beings, "snake wine" everyone will not think about it in the future, this approach is not right.

At the same time,Stay away from the home remedies of "snake wine", otherwise there will be "snake wine" and you will be bitten at the end of the bottle, so you will find it yourselfAnd as we mentioned above, when a venomous snake encounters a "harsh" environment such as lack of oxygen and water, it will quickly adjust to a dormant state, and it can maintain life for up to several years, so don't challenge the snake's ability to survive.

This is false, because the snake will die if it is soaked in wine for a year, unless oxygen is present, and it must be soaked in a sealed space.

It should be true, because I have also encountered snakes that have been soaked in wine for a year and have not died, and the vitality of Ye Mei snakes is very tenacious.

It's fake. This is just a folk saying and has no scientific basis, so we should not believe it.

01 It may be that the bottle of snake wine is not sealed, and air enters the bottle, and the snake's head floats on top of the wine, and the snake can breathe.

02 If the wine is not full, the snake will hibernate, the snake will enter a dormant state in the wine, the metabolic rate is very low, and it can live for a long time without eating or drinking and breathing weakly.

03 Low alcohol content is not enough to kill a poisonous snake, and if there is just some air, the snake may not die, this situation is very dangerous, you must be careful.

04 In fact, the probability of the snake in the snake wine coming out to bite is very low, but it is indeed dangerous, so when soaking snake wine, the soaking process should be standardized and high-grade liquor should be used.

As we all know, Chinese pay special attention to health preservation, and drinking medicinal wine is one of the more ancient health preservation methods. The general medicinal wine is to release people medicinal herbs and wine, and some are animal wine, and snake wine is one of them.

The main effect of snake medicine wine is to dispel wind, clear the channel, etc., and have a certain effect on rheumatism and other diseases mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine. Snake wine is still popular today, but some people say that the snake soaked in wine but did not die. Many people will also be puzzled, the poisonous snake can not die in the wine, the alcohol content of the liquor is very high, the alcohol is very strong, it stands to reason that the poisonous snake soaked in the liquor, even if you don't drink the liquor, you will be smoked to death by the wine, choked to death.

However, in recent years, the news has also reported that poisonous snakes have not died for a year without dying and biting people.

So, what is the reason why the poisonous snake is soaked in wine and does not die?

In fact, in addition to snakes, a large number of Chinese medicinal materials are also placed in the snake wine, and when the wine bottle is artificially moved, the shaking of the wine happens to cause the snake's head to float on these medicinal materials, and the snake may continue to breathe. In addition, most sparkling wine bottles are not completely sealed, and outside air can enter the bottle, and the snake inside enters a state of suspended animation, which is a self-protection function of the animal to pretend to be dead in dangerous situations, in order to deceive the soaker.

The above situations are indeed possible, but the conditions are extremely harsh, and in general, the snake in the snake wine comes out to bite, which is a very unlikely event. Experts said that after the poisonous snake is soaked in the wine bottle, because the wine bottle is not completely sealed, the poisonous snake encounters a harsh environment and enters a dormant state, and its metabolism will be reduced, and it can reach a state of not drinking or eating and breathing weakly, and its life maintenance time is very long, which is why the poisonous snake is not dead, choked, and smoked.

Reminder: Snakes are cold-blooded animals and can survive in harsh environments, as long as the bottle mouth is not tight, there is air, and the alcohol content is not high, they can survive. For the sake of safety, we remind everyone to pay attention when making wine with poisonous snakes, and after closing the lid, make sure that the lid is completely sealed and that the snake's head is completely sunk into the wine.

Why are so many people still obsessed with making wine with snakes?

1. Snake wine contains a variety of elements required by the human body and is a high-grade tonic for the human body. Drink it regularly and in moderation, with **migraine, waist wind, foot wind, and old wind.

2. Snake wine has the effect of dispelling dampness and wind, nourishing and strengthening, and bruising and injury. If other medicinal animals or tonic Chinese medicine are added to the co-bubble, the efficacy of the drug can be enhanced.

3. Snake wine has the effect of strengthening the body, expelling miasma and poisonous gas, and can lead to a variety of diseases, such as rheumatic paralysis, stroke typhoid fever, hemiplegia, joint pain, crooked mouth and eyes, leprosy and other symptoms, especially for rheumatic diseases.

It can only be said that your wine is not high enough, and it is better to put some herbs in snake wine.
