Snake bite protection: snake boots, leggings, chaps, and gloves

admin

All over the world, people live, work and play in the territory of poisonous snakes every day. Venomous snakes are found on every continent apart from Antarctica and are responsible for 2.5 million venomous snake bites, leading to up to 125,000 deaths each year. While most bites are not fatal with the help of medical treatment and antivenom, most bites can also be prevented. Aside from avoiding them, the most effective way to prevent snakebites is to wear snake-protective clothing, such as boots, leggings, chaps, and gloves.

Unfortunately, the parts of the world with the highest number of snake bites and deaths are also parts of the world where poverty is very prevalent and antivenoms are very limited. To make matters worse, the average person can’t even imagine spending money on snake-proof clothing since food and water are more important. The countries that have the highest number of snake bites and deaths are those in South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and most notably, India.

In the United States, every state, plus Maine, Alaska, and Hawaii, is home to at least one of the 20 venomous snakes that are native to North America. That puts many people in contact with poisonous snakes every day. North Carolina is the state that experiences the most bites with 19 of 100,000 people bitten per year. Although the national average is much lower, 4 per 100,000 people, the risk is still there and needs to be addressed. As stated above, the best defense against snake bites is to avoid the areas they call home. However, this is difficult when the places where you live, work and play are the same areas where snakes do the same thing. For these situations there is snake protective clothing that has been responsible for preventing countless painful, if not fatal, snake bites.

Here is a list of the different types of snake protective clothing and the ways it prevents bites:

snake boots

Perhaps the common method of protection against snakes is through the use of snake boots. Most snake boots that are designed to be self-contained in snakebite prevention are more than twice the height of regular boots. The common length is between 16 and 18 inches, which is beyond the most common hitting height when it comes to the lower extremities. Most boots will resist the penetration of snake bites without any special fabric, but many of the higher-end products claim to use puncture-proof materials. Although snake boots are substantially taller than standard boots, the difference in comfort is almost unnoticeable unless temperatures are high. However, even when it is noticeable, the peace of mind that snake boots give a person is worth any inconvenience he may experience.

snake leggings

A close second in snake bite prevention is snake leggings. These are basically leggings that are designed to stop the penetration of the fangs. There are many different brands and most of them are effective on snake boot-like heights of about 16 to 18 inches. Snake leggings differ from manufacturer to manufacturer with cheaper examples made from hard plastic and PVC and more expensive ones made from high quality puncture proof fabrics. Obviously, the more expensive fabric models are more comfortable, but they will cost a person twice as much. The main consideration when purchasing snake leggings is that they are something you will wear. Most of the less expensive models are much less comfortable, hotter, and sweatier than the more expensive models. If you buy the cheap pair but don’t wear them, then they won’t do you much good.

snake chaps

Designed to protect more than just the lower half of the leg, snake chaps, also known as snake leggings, are usually attached to a belt or loop and run the full length of the leg to the boot. Snake chaps are good for areas that are home to the larger species of venomous snakes, such as diamondback rattlesnakes and cobras, as their reach can easily exceed a person’s knee. Again, just like leggings, there are more expensive and less expensive snake brands. One thing that is common among the lower priced models is that many only offer protection against snakes up to the knee and not above. This is even the case for some expensive models, so it’s important to find out this information before you buy. Protection below the knee is no better than less restrictive and less expensive snake gaiters.

snake gloves

When most people think of snake bites, they think of stepping on a snake and being bitten. What many don’t realize is that many snakebites occur on people’s fingers and hands. This is why snake gloves are also an important part of snake bite prevention. Most hand bites occur when doing activities such as gardening, picking up brush, or reaching into places where snakes might be hiding. As you probably already know, snakes blend in very well with their surroundings and unless they hiss or rattle, most will never be seen.

what’s wrong with

We’ve had a full month to evaluate all the NFL teams. Some clubs will make adjustments and start to fix problems. These are always teams that are either well coached or have significant depth with which to turn things around. For example, the Pittsburgh Steelers rested during their bye week with a 1-2 SU/ATS record. What’s wrong with fields? Well, nothing really, if you look patiently at the situation, which is what good handicapping is all about.

The Steelers have had a brutal schedule, especially the last two games, losses in Jacksonville and at home to the Bengals. But there is nothing to worry about. His defense is 13th overall and a robust fifth against the run. The only concern is getting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger healthy, and you have to give the kid some slack. He endured a traumatic motorcycle accident in the summer and then had an appendectomy in September! This team will be fine, and should have beaten the Bengals if not for two late turnovers.

This is the time of year to make adjustments if things are not going well. Two years ago, the Buffalo Bills weren’t playing on the ground until they decided to throw young RB Willis McGahee into the mix. McGahee powered up Buffalo’s running game, and the team was on fire, almost making the playoffs after an 0-4 start. That same season, the Patriots struggled a bit against the run, and during an October loss at Pittsburgh they allowed 225 rushing yards. The Pats coaching staff then inserted veteran nose tackle Keith Traylor in place of starting rookie Vince Wilfork. The move made a key difference as New England’s run defense was much stronger and more consistent. Here’s a look at some of the teams’ current weaknesses.

Cardinals: What’s wrong with Arizona’s great passing attack? He was No. 1 in the NFL last season. But this is a team that is overrated offensively. The addition of RB Edgerrin James is negated by the fact that his offensive line is terrible. They still don’t have a running game to balance things out, which would make the passing game more effective. James has an average of 3.4 ypc.

In Sunday’s 32-10 loss at Atlanta, Arizona’s only TD was a 99-yard interception return by Adrian Wilson. Quarterback Kurt Warner had another miserable game in Arizona’s third straight loss and was quickly demoted to backup quarterback. Coach Dennis Green announced that rookie Matt Leinart will start next week against Kansas City. Warner completed 11 of 20 passes for 128 yards with one interception and two fumbles. James was limited to 41 yards on 20 carries while the Cardinals rushed for just 31 yards. Adding rookie Leinart might help in the long run, but it won’t save them this season.

Ravens: What’s wrong with Baltimore’s offense? Despite a 4-0 start, this is a flawed team. QB Steve McNair hasn’t played well, with 5 TDs and three picks. Despite the comeback win over San Diego, the offense had 150 yards passing and 56 rushing. The offense is 10th worst in the NFL. Oh, his defense is excellent, which explains the 3-0-1 under the total mark, a trend that is likely to continue. And the defense has faced some really bad offenses (Tampa Bay, Browns, Raiders), so don’t burn out and buy a future ticket on this still-undefeated team.

Raiders: What’s wrong with the Raiders’ offense? Well, what’s not wrong with it! This offense just sucks, with coaches who have been out of the NFL for years and no quarterback. Aaron Brooks and Andrew Walter have been sharing time, but Walter proved he’s not quite ready for the NFL: Sunday against the Browns he was 9-of-23 for 68 yards! No change except the return of a young Daryle Lamonica will help this offense. Oakland is 5-31 SU, 9-26-1 ATS his last 36 as a dog and since losing the 2003 Super Bowl to Tampa Bay, the Raiders are 14-36-1 against the spread!

NY Giants: What’s wrong with the Giants’ pass defense? The team has an excellent and balanced offense that ranks second in the NFL. But the pass defense has been terrible, allowing 281 yards per game, third worst. They were lucky enough to beat the Eagles and were down 42-3 in Seattle before getting the respectable final score. The Giants are allowing 30 points a game and are 2-1 overall. Teams will continue to attack that weakness until they make changes. Good luck, as always… Al McMordie.

Why are people deaf and blind to climate change and pollution of the planet?

admin

My heart bleeds for the destruction of this beautiful creation in which we are privileged to live. The Earth is finite in what it produces and how it works. People strive to alter their natural laws and limits and we are all guilty of the end of the world, which is fast approaching. The question is why and if it can be reversed, since scientists desperately want such a correction.

The answer is no! We are unable to change what has been part of our psyche for several millennia because there is a greater power at work behind the scenes. He is the Great Spirit of the Universe and his intention was to end the presence of man in a cataclysmic episode to show how corrupt, deaf, blind and anti-God the majority are.

If one asks whether or not a person believes in God, the answer will tell him whether or not he believes in religion. That’s because they’ve been raised on the assumption that religious leaders are in touch with the Spirit and therefore the best authorities to follow.

My reincarnation and the knowledge of how wrong religions are is just one step in providing the answers to the above question. No one would believe a story without evidence, so my revelation had to wait until it came. That happened at an age that was shown to me between lives. Then an order was given with the means to carry it out is the Internet.

As the Spirit led me, mysteries were solved, evidence was gathered, and websites were built. Articles galore back them up and a new teaching is out for those who are willing to risk turning away from religious lies to examine the facts.

God put religions in the way of those who are not connected to Spirit, and for good reason, as explained in the Prophecies:

“The Tabernacles (churches, temples, mosques, etc.) from thieves prosper, and those who provoke God are secure, into whose hands God brings abundance.” work12:5

To do that and make people obey religious teachings so that they blindly destroy the only planet they live on, something else was required:

“For God has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes… And the vision of everything is like the words of a sealed book…” Isaiah 10.11

The answer to the question posed, therefore, is that it is made by the hand of God to show how stupid, blind and deaf we are in the face of reality. Only those who are spiritual on the inside and linked in a way religions don’t know will make it out of the catastrophe of climate change and a destroyed planet to a different place. That is the promise and all the others will just fade away.
