Woman Almost Suffocated by 4-Meter-Long Python ‍While Washing‌ Dishes

A 64-year-old woman in Thailand was rescued after being‍ wrapped around her body by ⁤a massive python for nearly two hours.

A 64-year-old‌ woman in Thailand was rescued after ⁣being wrapped around ‍her body by a ⁤massive python for nearly⁤ two hours.⁣ According to reports from the Bangkok Post‍ and ⁢other sources, Arom Arunrot, ⁣who lives in Samut‍ Prakan Province south of Bangkok, felt something bite her leg while washing ⁤dishes in the‍ kitchen at around 8:30 p.m. on the‍ 17th.

When ‌she looked down, it was a python. Alone, Arom struggled and screamed to get‍ the python off, but there​ was no one nearby to help her.⁣ Before she knew it, the snake had wrapped itself around Arom’s body. Arom‌ tried ‍to escape by⁤ grabbing ‌the snake’s head ‌and striking it, but the more she tried, the more the snake squeezed Arom’s body.

For two hours,‌ she suffered with the snake wrapped around​ her body, unable to move. It was not until around 10 ​p.m. that a ‍neighbor heard Arom’s desperate ​cries and ⁢reported it to the police.⁢ “When I broke down the door and went ​in, ​I heard her groaning in pain. Her skin was pale. It looked ​like she had been wrapped around the python for quite some‍ time. It⁢ was a⁢ huge python. There was a bite ⁢mark ⁢on her leg, but I ‌thought she had been⁣ bitten in ‍other parts of her body⁣ as ⁢well,” recalled Anuson Wangmali, a police officer who ​responded to the‌ scene.

The rescue team arrived at the scene⁤ and first stabbed the python to induce a reaction, ⁢and then‌ carefully ​controlled the snake’s head to make its body loosen ‍up from⁤ wrapping around the person. The rescue operation took‍ about 30 minutes, as the python ‍was‍ quite ⁤long and heavy. During this process, ​the snake was quickly handled to ⁢prevent further injury ⁣to Arom.

The rescue team helped Arom regain her breathing by untangling the python from the head. After being⁢ released from the python, Arom was rushed to the hospital.‍ Arom’s terrifying experience highlights the importance ‍of being aware of ‍one’s surroundings and taking necessary ⁤precautions when dealing with wild ⁤animals.

How to⁣ Escape from a Python’s Grip

If a large snake like a python​ wraps around ⁢you, ⁣how can you escape?⁣ The snake will⁢ tighten ‍its grip more strongly depending on the resistance ​of your body, so if you breathe deeply or move your body excessively, the pressure will be⁣ even worse. You should try to stay⁤ calm and control your‌ breathing as⁢ much as‍ possible.

If a snake tries to wrap ‌itself around you, grab the⁤ snake’s head or tail to make it⁢ release itself. It is most effective to control the snake’s ‍head⁣ so that ‍it cannot move freely. As mentioned earlier, pythons are not venomous, but there is ‍a risk of infection if they bite,⁣ so it is best to cover their mouth to prevent them ⁤from biting.‍ Cover the⁢ snake’s mouth with ⁣a⁣ towel ‍or clothing.

However, if ‌you are actually bitten by a snake, it can be difficult to⁣ free​ yourself. It is essential ⁣to ask someone nearby ⁢for help ⁤as ⁤soon as possible. Pythons do not naturally inhabit our ⁢country. ⁣They are ‍a species ⁢that mainly inhabits tropical‍ and subtropical regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa, ‌and South Asia, and the⁣ domestic climate is‍ not⁤ suitable for‌ pythons.
