“Uncover the Astonishing Survival Secrets of the Tribe Thriving by a Fiery Volcano!”
People not living at El Sod welcome rain happily, especially a downpour, as it allows them to lead their cattle to watering holes as well as provides drinking water for themselves. The miners at El Sod, however, do not.
Rain Is Problematic
Although rain provides valuable drinking water for the people at El Sod, it also has its downsides. For the miners working at the crater, rain can be a significant issue because it causes rising water levels, which makes it more challenging to extract the salt from the bed lake.
Simultaneously, the rain and the mud also greatly affect the quality of the product, leaving only the lower-quality black salt available to mine.
Rain Makes Things Even More Dangerous
Despite rain making the miners’ jobs harder than they already are and decreasing the quality of the product, it brings on another set of dangers. During the dry season, the caves surrounding the crater are home to venomous snakes.
Unfortunately, when the rains come, they descend on the lake and are a threat to the miners. The snakes’ fast-acting toxin can paralyze those it bites and can kill before anyone has time to reach the hospital.
Wildlife Isn’t The Only Danger Either
As if risking their own lives from the salt in the crater or dealing with venomous reptiles wasn’t enough, there is still more to worry about. Despite the village’s remote location, other humans also pose an issue.
