The berg adder is a viper that lives only in the mountains of southern Africa. It is found in scattered groups, from South Africa up to Mozambique. Its venom mainly attacks the nerves, which sets it apart from most of its close relatives.1

Its venom is mainly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. Necrosis (tissue death) or infection seldom follows a bite. Symptoms can start quickly and have been compared to alcohol intoxication, and they are not usually permanent. Possible signs include loss of smell or taste, drooping eyelids and loss of vision.1

Namootaaf hammam balaa qaba?

The venom is not strong enough for a single bite to kill an adult human, and no human deaths have been recorded. However, bites can be troublesome, and their effects sometimes last for days or even weeks.1

When disturbed, it hisses violently and twists its body convulsively.1
