Dealing with unwanted insects

[Guest guest]

Well, I don't know the name exactly...

I have to ask the man again.

Did you not get the attachment of the picture?

it was red and had little white double lines on it.

 

In this area, a lot of people get bit by snakes.

A couple of years ago even the snake charmer at hular ghat was bitten by

one of his snakes. he only had enough time to put the snake back into the

basket, before he died.

 

Right now there is Manasi Pooja time. One man from around here always does

a big pooja and I make sure to give him my donation of 50 rupees.:-)

 

I know about the non poisonous snakes. Those we do not harm.

This one was between two baskets in the cow barn. Our cowherd picked up the

basket and found the snake sleeping on the basket underneath.

Gauranga (the cowherd) said that the poison of this snake is slow working.

However, it is very deadly.

 

There are even snakes here that are only the size of little threads or very

small worms. However, they have two mouth on each end of them. if they get

into your shoe or something, you are finished.

Gaurang told me that he knew of a boy that did not survive the bite of this

snake.

Cobras we have many here, also Vipers and tree vipers especially. Kraits I

think are more rare in this area.
