In the early stages, Iluka Las tribe to regularly capture over one thousand snakes, and snakeskin that various industrial activities as material. In 1972, India local implementation so Iluka Las family of snake then organized into alliances, specialized catch snakes and put them to remove toxins, and then release them. They collect the venom has become the production of antivenom important material. Iluka Las tribe captured snake, but also for use of edible and catching mice.
Although there are many who get snake local presence in India, but there are a lot of professional snake simultaneously. Now concluded through research herpetology, is the ideal tool for capturing snakes is the end was a "V" shaped sticks, but there are some figures such as Bill Haast, Austin Steve Austin · Stephens and and Jeff Cloud, who can advocate hand snake.
Snake Bitten
Snakes will not regard humans as prey general, most snakes will not attack humans unless it is frightened or hurt, it will be offensive, snakes are otherwise generally avoid human contact occurs. In addition to some huge snakes (such as pythons, boa snake), the most toxic snakes will not pose a threat to mankind. Toxic snakes bite attack usually not much destruction, because their teeth are mainly used for grasping things than torn, so generally does not cause deep wounds. Although the snake bite after all skin and muscle tissue will be damage, but compared to the viper's bite attack, the non-toxic snakes bite attack really lack of infestation. [38]
He was bitten by a snake and deadly record is actually not that much, because most of the cases by the viper bite can hit to amputation surgery to prevent death. There are around 725 kinds of snakes, of which only 250 kinds of snakes can bite blow away people's lives immediately. Although Australia is the world's most poisonous snakes inhabited places, but only one was an average year, hit by poisonous snakes bite caused; in India, more than a year about 2,500,000 cases of snake bite cases, but only 50,000 of them were involved in the death of [ 44].

The production of antivenin, the researchers put a variety of snakes inject toxins while a horse's body, the dose increased gradually from light to heavy, until the horses can be immune to the toxin so far; horses who then begins to draw blood, and then to be water diluted, and stored frozen, and finally succeeded in producing serum. But also because of this reason, some people who are allergic to horses can not use these sera. In India, South Africa and Australia and other places, the locals also for the more dangerous snakes (such as mamba snake, taipan snake and cobra), produced with the same technique special antivenom
