Chinese man bitten by venomous snake thought he died in wine bottle he bought for son

A Chinese father was shocked when he was suddenly bitten by a dead snake in a can of snake wine he bought a year ago.The man, from China’s Heilongjiang province, reportedly bought three cans of snake wine, believing it could help his long-term chronically ill son heal.Instead of opening the jars, the father allegedly left the jars untouched for a year so they had “sufficient medicinal value”.After a year-long pickling, the man claims he finally decided to open the jar and take the Chinese medicine, only to find all three venomous snakes “survived” before being bitten by one.He was treated immediately after being taken to hospital and is said to have survived.Chinese medicine believes that snake wine contains a variety of health benefits and can even cure rheumatism, arthritis and flu.The drink is usually prepared by placing a snake in a can of alcohol (usually rice wine) and marinating there for several months.What happened isn’t surprising to the father, some experts say, as snakes are said to be able to live in a jar of alcohol for 12 months without dying, especially if the lid is slightly opened to let in air.However, herpetologist Wolfgang Wüster believes that what happened was “biologically impossible”.”No snake can survive in any liquid in the bottle for more than an hour or so at most,” Worcester told Newsweek.”Snakes don’t have magical powers, they are made of meat and bones like other animals and need food, water and oxygen to survive.” Some snake species are able to enter a state of burn, which is similar to hibernation in reptiles, when certain conditions are met conditions, such as very low temperatures.During combustion, they require less oxygen and their metabolism slows down.
