Denim
It turns out that wearing denim is an effective protection against snake venom. You can make fun of jorts all you want, but they might just save your life if you happen to be bitten by a snake.
According to a study done in California, snakes injected 60-66% less venom into denim-covered gloves compared to bare hands.
New Zealand.
New Zealand’s geological climate has gone through several periods of glaciation, which made it too cold for snakes to reside in. This is similar to the fact that there are no snakes in Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland, Ireland, and Antarctica.
