There is no other remedy against an asp bite than to immediately cut out the affected area with meat. That is why all living things avoid this dangerous reptile and, seeing him, run away without looking back.
The bug-eyed adder has huge ears, like sails above his head. He relies not so much on his eyesight as on his keen hearing, and thanks to his sense of smell he is able to smell prey at great distances.
The bloodthirstiness of asps knows no bounds. In a fit of anger, the female brutally deals with the male. But soon a similar fate awaits her. In a hurry to see the white light, her children gnaw at the mother’s womb and crawl out, immediately attacking all living things, and sometimes devouring each other.
But the asps also have a formidable opponent. This is a mongoose - a large mouse that lives in reed thickets on the banks of the Nile. Sensing an adder, the mongoose runs to the river and begins to wallow in the coastal mud, and then dries out under the scorching rays of the sun. He does this repeatedly until his skin hardens, like a shell made of baked clay.
Now the animal is not afraid of any bites from a poisonous predator. Seizing the moment, the animal boldly jumps into the open mouth of the asp and manages to gnaw its throat.
