The Deadliest Island in the World

The Snake Island

Earth is covered with a lot of dangerous places.

still, there may not be a

position on the earth that would kill

you quicker than this bitsy island off

the coast of Brazil well and it's called

Ilha- quiemada grande or better known as

snake island so the pitfall is enough

obvious snake island is to the surprise

of no bone

covered in snakes and

The Brazilian government has made it illegal

for anybody to visit without a strict

authorization this is because the snakes

that cover the island are both an

exposed species and extremely

toxic so any idiot that visits have

the eventuality to both annihilate an

entire species and/ or die within two

beats of setting bottom the only people

allowed in our occasional visits by the

Brazilian Navy and precisely named

scientists who are hand- picked and

vetted by the Brazilian Ministry of the

terrain That being said study of

what would be if you were

mysteriously teleported from where you

are right now on the island how could

you survive and what would your

experience there be like for starters

the island is located 33 kilometers off

the coast of Brazil so swimming back to

safety isn't exactly an option.

the island is also truly bitsy it's about four

hundred and thirty thousand square

measures an area that is nearly identical

in size to Vatican City the world's

smallest country unlike Vatican City which has2.3 popes per square

hence

snake island has zero Pope but crowds

and crowds of snakes the species that

inhabits the island is the golden

lancehead hit Serpent which is both badass

sounding and extremely dangerous they are

considered risked because they only

live on this island

a long time ago snake island was

connected to the Brazilian mainland but

rising ocean situations converted it into an

island and trap the snakes there ever

the island came its own separate

Universe.

For the snakes, we're forced to

adapt to the circumstances there, were any man

that exists on the islands say for the

an occasional unlucky human who washes up

the snakes had no possible prey except

for the occasional seabird that landed

in the trees and so the snakes put all

of their experience points to venom

and developed one that was so potent,

It could kill or paralyze the raspberries within

moments of a suck

the snakes had to

come aggressive and directly kill

the raspberries as they landed because that

came their only source of food and

thousands of times subsequently that's still

the reality because humans and

researchers so rarely visit the island

we don't exactly know how multitudinous snakes

live there nor exactly how bad a bite

for one of them would be still we do

have some educated suppositions,

Some estimates on the size of the Serpent

population goes as high as four hundred and

thirty thousand which is insane that

would be roughly one snake for every

square meter and these aren't bitty

little theater snakes either grow up

to half a meter long and if that's the

case no matter where you go on

the island you're presumably noway further than a

a meter down from a big- donkey slithery venom

a boy still other researchers

guesstimate that there may be more like

four thousand Serpents on the island but

that would still be a ton that's like

one every six square yards or so across

the island on average no matter what

you are gon na run into snakes while

you are stranded on this island so how

bad is their bite since we don't have

any vindicated data on a mortal getting

bit by one yet we have to calculate on some

hypotheticals we know that bites from

regular lancehead snakes in mainland

Brazil carries a seven percent trouble of

death if the bite goes undressed and a

three percent trouble indeed if it's treated

still, we do also know that a chemical

analysis of a snake island Vipers

revealed that their venom is five times

more potent than that of their mainland

cousins predicated on that my arbitrary- donkey

the ballpark number is that you could anticipate

a thirty- five percent chance of death if

have you ever gotten stunk by one since you were

stranded on the island and there's no

the way that you're getting treated in time

their venom is hemotoxic which eats down

at the meat and kerchief so symptoms

after a bite presumably will include

swelling nausea/ vomiting, intestinal

bleeding, order failure, brain

hemorrhages and

the meat around the bite literally

Dissolving. So where can you go on the

island to avoid the snakes, there are not

any breaches

they are all just rocky scars, so that is

presumably not a truly good idea the central part of the island is covered in

a small rain timber which is where utmost

of the snakes live so yeah I've presumably

best to avoid that as well

the rest of the island is covered in

open campo and exposed jewels so

those areas may be better but you only

options for food are basically trying to

catch the jeer before the snakes get to

them trying to use commodity for fishing

on the stony scars or to actually hunt

the snakes themselves which are all

enough insane choices.

your swish chance of sanctum and presumably getting saved

would be inside this lighthouse which

is the only structure on the island, it

is functional but it's also completely

automated so it has no mortal crew it's

only occasionally checked up on by the

Brazilian Navy, so who knows how long

you'd have to stay there for who

indeed knows what the door outdoors would be

unlock most presumably you're gon na be rammed

outdoors and food would be the least of

your enterprises at least to begin with

the only source of water on the island will

be whenever it rains so you better expedient

it does soon of all the islands in all

the world to find yourself stranded on

snake island in the Atlantic is presumably

the worst of them, now while you are

stranded on snake island you'll presumably

have a delicate time piercing the

Internet from your phone.

that's all for today.
