 Tapping latex, wild dogs in villages. 

How do you extract latex from a rubber tree?

Tapping: Latex is gathered from the trees by making a cut in the bark and collecting the runny sap in cups. This process is called tapping. Coagulation: In order to prevent the sap from solidifying, ammonia is added. Acid is then added to the mix to extract the rubber.

Totap a rubber tree for latex, a tapper uses a hooked knife to make a diagonal cut into the tree's bark, then peels back the bark to collect the milky-white latex:

 

1. 1. Choose the right tree

   Rubber trees must be at least six years old and six inches in diameter before they can be tapped. 
2. 2. Make the cut

   Using a hooked knife, make a diagonal cut that's about a quarter inch deep, starting at the highest point on the tree and slanting down and to the left. 
3. 3. Collect the latex

   The latex will flow down the cut and into a bucket or cup. After about four hours, the latex will stop flowing because it coagulates on the cut. 
4. 4. Repeat

    

   The tree can be tapped again the next day with a fresh cut.

    

    ------------

   Rainy days. Stop tapping as the latex will be useless.

    A 15-year-old boy slices a groove into the bark of the rubber tree at a depth of one-quarter inch (6.4 mm) with a hooked knife and peeling back the bark. Latex flows from the bark into the attached cup. He was alone. 

    

   Suddenly a big cross-breed rabid feral dog charges towards him, wanting to bite him. He turned around to face the dog. He picked up a large stone. He hurls the stone at the advancing dog's head between the eyes.
