The Brazilian lancehead is a highly venomous snake, a type of pit viper, found in South America. It lives in forests and open woodland in Brazil and nearby countries, and it hunts mostly at night. Its venom damages muscle and blood, so bites need urgent medical care.1

Its venom is haemolytic (it breaks down red blood cells) and proteolytic (it breaks down proteins). A muscle-damaging component causes necrosis, meaning the muscle tissue dies, and the venom also stops blood from clotting. Symptoms may include intense local pain, swelling and muscle death, and the venom can cause severe bleeding and strokes.1

Eziokwu

The venom contains a clotting-related enzyme that can trigger disseminated intravascular coagulation, a serious condition where blood clots and bleeds at the same time.1

Its venom contains a wide range of enzymes, including a muscle-damaging myotoxin.1

The venom yield of adult females averages 335 mg, while newborns average 63 mg.1

It is one of several pit vipers with heat-sensing pits, which help it find prey in the dark.1

It is nocturnal, so it is most active at night.1
