Asps

Asps are indestructible representatives of the class of reptiles that are found in most regions of the Earth. Of these, the most famous are snakes of the snake family and vipers. According to legend, not only in Ancient Egypt, but in Tibet, India and other parts of Asia, people were afraid of these snakes. This is where stories of dragons, hydras and centaurs arose, which are often found in folklore and literature of those times. The most dangerous of the adders should be considered representatives of the families of real and rattlesnakes, hedgehogs and grass snakes. The main danger for a person when meeting a snake is the unpredictability of its behavior - it can either “shed” its skin, or throw off its entire head and be “burned” by the poison that it stored in its head for a long time, until the moment of encountering danger. This is why many people stung by a snake die, even despite intensive medical care. This is due to the fact that the asp’s venom can cause general intoxication of the body, and if a large amount of poison is found, poisoning with convulsions and respiratory or cardiac arrest. In this case, a person can still live
