Iran ranks second in the world in terms of snake and scorpion bites!!!
Did you know that one of the most dangerous scorpions in the world is in Iran during these busy days of mountaineering and nature tourism? (Scorpion Jarrar in Khuzestan) So safety against snakes and scorpions is a priority for you on nature trips (especially in the desert).
The most dangerous snake in Iran, which causes the most bites and deaths, is the Jafari snake. According to statistics, snakes bite mostly from the knee to the bottom of the legs and from the elbow to the bottom of the hands.
To be safe from snakes, you should follow some tips.
Snakes mostly rest under the bushes and the shade of trees, so when digging bushes and resting in the shade of trees, check the place carefully first.
Whenever you hear a constant hissing sound, stand still. This sound is the sound of the Parsley snake (the special sound of the Parsley snake is made by pulling its scales together) which is warning you not to approach it. After standing, look around and when you see the snake, back away. Go and distance yourself from it.
Around your tent and camp, you can put water, tobacco, gasoline, mustard, etc. Pour it to make the snakes move away from it.
Try using getter. A gaiter is a cloth that covers you from your shoes to your knees and prevents the venom from penetrating your body in case of a snake bite.
When crossing the bush where the grass is tall and it is not clear under your feet, put a stick in front of you like a cane for the blind so that if you come across a snake and it comes back to bite you, it will bite the cane instead of you.
Do not sleep outside the tent at night, the snakes are attracted to the heat of your body and sleep next to your body, and they feel unsafe when you turn and may bite you.
Close the door of your tent and car in nature so that snakes enter them.
Do not leave your belongings and backpack outside so that the snakes do not enter it and then enter your car and tent.
Whenever you want to camp somewhere, jump up and down together and several of them so that the snakes that are around and feel the vibration very well will get scared and move away from you.
The presence of birds of prey and hedgehogs around your camp will make you safe from snakes. Because they are snake hunters.
