Reborn in that autumn

Ye Qiu asked Ao Shijie in the space, "What should we do now?"

Ao Shijie replied: "Snakes are cold-blooded animals. They like to live in warm and humid places, but they will also be affected by bad weather, natural enemies, fire, smoke and other factors and flee their original habitat. Snakes are sensitive to some irritants. We are also very sensitive to odorous substances, especially today’s chemicals.”

"Therefore, if we want to drive away snakes, we can use these characteristics to make some Chinese herbal snake repellents. Below I will introduce to you several common Chinese herbal snake repellents and how to use them."

Realgar Snake Repellent

Realgar is a mineral containing arsenic, which is toxic and has insecticidal and anti-inflammatory effects.Realgar can be used alone or in combination with other drugs.The specific method is as follows:

Mix 100 grams of realgar and 250 grams of white wine, put in 8 cockroaches, soak for 36 hours, take them out, divide them into 4 parts, and sprinkle one part on the bank of the pond or other places where snakes need to be driven away every half a month.

Take equal amounts of realgar, garlic, aroids and rice dumplings, mash them into tablets, dry them and place them where snakes need to be driven away.

Mix realgar and dried angelica and burn it into smoke, then smoke it in places where snakes need to be repelled.

Sprinkle realgar powder directly where snakes need to be repelled.

Lobelia Houttuynia cordata snake repellent

Lobelia and Houttuynia cordata are Chinese herbal medicines that clear away heat and detoxify, and can also be used to repel snakes.The specific method is as follows:

"Take appropriate amounts of lobelia and Houttuynia cordata, grind them into powder, and then soak them in rice vinegar to make wine. Leave them for about a month. Of course, it is impossible to leave them for a month now."

Aoxue said: "I can speed up the time in space."

"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Once you have it done, it will be ready to use in one minute."

After hearing this, Ao Shijie said, "Okay, that's it?"

"Pour the soaked wine into two gloves or socks, soak them for a day or two and then dry them."

"Wearing gloves or socks when on the mountain or other places where you may encounter snakes can help prevent snake bites."

"If you encounter a snake, don't panic. Stay still or make noise to scare them away. Don't provoke them with rocks or branches, as this may cause them to attack."

, other snake repelling methods

In addition to the above two Chinese herbal snake repellents, there are some other snake repellent methods, as follows:

"Strike the grass to scare snakes. In some wet grass, forests and shrubs, or before and after heavy rain, these are the places and times where snakes appear. When walking in these places, take a stick and strike the grass while walking to frighten the snakes. And run away.

"Smoke snakes with vinegar. Snakes are very averse to sour smells. If you find snakes at home, you can smoke them with vinegar. Just find some vinegar (regardless of type), boil it in the room where the snake is found, and let the vinegar smell permeate. It allows the snake to escape.”

"Use underwear to attract snakes. This is a rather peculiar method of repelling snakes. It is said that it is best to use women's underwear that smells of sweat, but men's underwear that smells of sweat is also acceptable."

"The effect is not as good as for girls. If you encounter snakes blocking your way, you can throw your underwear to them, and they will cling to them, and then you can take the opportunity to escape or capture them."

Ye Qiu said: "There are many methods."

"But there should be ready-made preparations or powders in the supermarket. I'll go check it out."

Aoxue said: "There should be, I will go with you."

After saying that, the two of them flashed into the large shopping mall in the space.
