I think I know who asked this question. Esti

Better tell the answer, it doesn't matter who asks the question.

Come on, stop! Snakes don't sting, but bite. Anyway, they usually flee before using this weapon. They reportedly reach somewhere to the ankle, and up to there in the hills the foot is anyway protected by hiking boots.

It can sting you, why not?

It can sting you also in the pecker, or in the pussy. And then you need to suck the spot.

Sucking on a snake bite, lately doctors advise against it.

That's true according to the above finding, it fits the one who got bitten.

No, now seriously. What if a snake bites through clothing?
|
|

|
| Guest21. 07. 2007 09:13:09 |
It can bite through sweatpants; through jeans it's harder but still possible. A shepherd told me a few years ago.

How likely is it to bite you if you step on it, and how likely if you step near it?
|
|
|
|
| Guest21. 07. 2007 15:04:29 |
Much greater if you step on it, of course if you don't accidentally trample it to death (step on its head), if you step near it it would most likely flee as it fears humans, bites only if it feels threatened!!! Best to watch where you step and not gape around, because at these temps you might meet it more often!!
If this answer is not enough, I suggest you try what actually happens and then tell us what happened?

I've already encountered a snake and not long ago. We went to Malo Kladivo, we surprised it on the path, but it fled and at such a speed that you can't believe it at all. It quickly slid down the hill and hid in the grass. It went past my shoes and that's how I noticed it, because my husband who was walking in front of me saw nothing.And this isn't my first experience, I encountered it also when we went from Prevala towards Ljubel and this one was also on the path and fled, so I think if you don't surprise it there's no panic. and many more hiking pleasures ahead.

Well, it fears you more than you fear it..

The topic doesn't seem so entertaining to me as some forum members want to present it.
Snake sting or bite is not so innocent, especially not when all parameters for the black scenario are met (snake's age, temperature, amount of injected venom, distance to medical help, psycho-physical condition, tendency to allergies, physical resistance...)
Usually it's not bad, because there are several factors that reduce consequences (booted mountain boots or gaiters where most venom stays at bite, snakes ALWAYS try to avoid humans, snakes in our hills don't have such "strong" venom...)
Can be a big problem on Velebit
(personal experience).
SOS - try to squeeze as much
venom from the wound, above the wound a tourniquet (not too tight)
Lots of safety and pleasures in the hills.

In the First World War a soldier would shoot off his finger on his hand or foot if bitten by an adder.

Chance of snake bite is small, unless it feels threatened. Light pants are no obstacle for fangs.
Snake bite (adder, nose-horned viper) is not deadly for a healthy person, but can significantly weaken our health. For non-venomous snakes, protection against Tetanus is needed.
