Why is the sign of medicine with a stick and snake twisted around?
HumbleMuslim
Because the staff "stick" is used to help people walk and the snake both causes a person to need medical attention and has healing properties. It is called the "Rod of Asclepius" and is often confused for the "Caduceus" (the rod with two snakes wrapped around it and wings).

Reflex covers a lot of ground, so an example of a simple reflex in times of possible danger. If one sees a stick on the trail in snake country ( assume poison snake country ) one reflexively jumps to one side regardless and knowing afterwards that this is stick instead of a snake keeps one alive anyway. Humans evolved in snake countries as out ancestors dod and the organism that reflexively jumped away, snake or stick, is the organism that left more decedents that had the same reflex.
