This myth is very popular in malaysia and several South East Asian (S.E.A.) country. In this myth, it said that the snake had a curse with the bamboo and some people said that snake can't stand the hair from the bamboo that the hair had not being remove.They said the hair from the bamboo could cause itch to our skin and would make the snake feel uncomfortable if it hits their eyes and some parts of their body. | |||

In Nepal and the Philippines, people are scared of Bamboo since it attract's poisonous snakes, I am not sure if it's a myth but I guess it's true. I really liked Bamboo, and I think it's a beautiful plant for landscapes and privacy screening. We should have a Mythbuster episode about Bamboo though, and I saw people reinforce concrete with Bamboo, it should compare there too the strength of steel reinforce concrete vs. bamboo reinforced concrete. | ||||

well I've never been heard it before, but I read something a bit different, I belive it's from a fantasy story People say if you use a bamboo stick to hit a snake, the snake will not dare to move because the bamboo stick was it's uncle, and for some unknown reason it become a bamboo. But anyway, I think it's a story. to remind the young people to respect older people.....hee heee | ||||
