According to Compendium of Materia Medica, even poisonous snakes will lose their toxicity after baking or drying, and snake venom will become an active protease. This active protease will lose its activity under the following conditions, such as 100℃ high temperature or strong oxidation, high concentration of organic solvent. So under normal circumstances, the poisonous snakes used to make wine are all dry poisonous snakes, and no one takes fresh poisonous snakes to make wine!

In fact, snakes are detoxified before being soaked in wine. It basically presses the snake's teeth on the edge of the cup and lets the venom flow out along the edge of the cup until there is not much liquid left. Then it pulls out its fangs and removes its poisonous glands. The snake is basically not very toxic. Even if a small part is not thoroughly treated, it will not cause poisoning.

Because snake venom is a kind of protein, we use snakes to absorb alcohol, which is ethanol. Ethanol is recognized as an organic solvent, which has good permeability and is easy to enter snake venom tissues and cells. In yellow rice wine containing 40% ethanol, active protease will lose its activity, but it can also delay the hydrolysis of many drugs and improve the stability of drugs. ?

Therefore, drinking the wine brewed by poisonous snakes will not be poisoned, because the poison of poisonous snakes has become a treasure through the dissolution of wine, and it can also treat rheumatic bone pain and arthritis. However, if the body is not suitable for drinking medicinal liquor, drinking medicinal liquor is not only not good, but may also aggravate the condition. In addition to soaking poisonous snake wine, we should also pay attention to the brewing method, and we must let the snake venom completely fail before drinking. Therefore, as long as it is handled properly, it is safe for poisonous snakes to soak in wine.
