How Snakes Are Useful

Snakes are an important part of the food chain because they are both consumers and prey. Farmers use snakes to lure away all the mice that eat the crops. They also make medicine from the venom of poisonous snakes. Snakes are also used for meat for us to eat and for purses , boots, clothes, shoes, hats and necklaces.

How To Prevent From Being Bitten By A Snake

Be alert when picking up or climbing on rocks. Wear boots so the snake’s fangs can’t penetrate your feet. Most snakes bites occur 99 percent of the time below the knee . If you see a snake stay away. That is the best way to make sure nobody gets hurt . Never approach a snake thinking you can beat it because even a little snake can still be dangerous . When you are hiking always wear boots , carry a scarf , or a bandage and your cell phone. Memorize the phrase “ Red, yellow kill a fellow , red and black friend of jack “. This can help you determine if a snake is poisonous or not.

If You’re Bitten

Do not cut the area and try to bite or suck the poison. Do not put anything cold over the bite as this slows blood flow and may make things worse. Get a bandage or a scarf and tie it two feet above the bite to stop the venom from spreading to other parts of your body. Try to call the hospital as fast as you can so they can get anti venom.
