Firefighters catch cobras with bare hands, advice on what to do if you encounter a snake
Thrilling! Firefighter nicknamed ‘Pak Kret Snake Doctor’ catches a large cobra with his bare hands. Advice on how to survive when encountering a snake, including first aid if bitten by a snake.
Phi Rang said that he studied how to catch each type of snake from experts and has been catching snakes and reptiles for 9 years. He also demonstrated how to catch a cobra for the news team. He warned that during the rainy season, there are often venomous reptiles that crawl into houses. If it is a snake, immediately notify
the local disaster prevention and mitigation office. It is not recommended to catch it yourself. If any members of the public encounter a reptile such as a snake at close range, the way to protect yourself is to stand still and then step back. Then, trap the snake or find a way to limit the area, such as in the bathroom, by closing the door. Then, wait for the officers to come to the area to catch it.
How to survive when encountering a snake, what to do?
1. If you can observe and distinguish the type of snake, first ask if it is venomous or not
. 2. Observe the snake’s head. If it is triangular, guess that it is a venomous snake, such as a cobra or king cobra. However, if it is round, it is a non-venomous snake, such as a python or boa constrictor. These are not venomous but dangerous and can bite and strangle their prey.
3. Do not chase snakes. If you encounter a snake, stay still and move or retreat slowly, keeping an eye on the snake’s movement to avoid it and stay at a safe distance
. 4. Observe the
snake’s location. Observe whether the snake is still in the same place or in which direction it is moving to prevent the snake from escaping.
5. Keep everyone in the house away from snakes, especially small children and pets, away from dangerous snakes because they may be bitten or hurt.
6. Call for help for safety. Do not catch snakes by yourself if you are not experienced enough. Call 199 for fire and rescue.
First aid for snake bites
1. Try to relax and stay calm. Remove any jewelry or clothing that is pressed against the snake bite wound immediately.
2. If there is clean water and soap, wash the wound immediately. This can reduce contamination from germs or snake venom.
3. Splint the bitten area with a compression bandage or a hard material, such as a piece of wood, PVC pipe, or a hard rolled-up paper, to minimize movement.
4. Try to move your body as little as possible. Muscle movement or contraction will allow snake venom to be absorbed into the body faster.
5. Place the bitten part lower than o
r at the same level as the heart.
6. Go to the hospital as soon as possible or call an ambulance immediately.
