The eastern massasauga is a small rattlesnake that lives in eastern North America, mainly around the Great Lakes. It is the only venomous snake in Ontario, Canada. It is shy and keeps away from people, but it is a protected species because its numbers have fallen sharply.1

Its venom is cytotoxic, which means it destroys tissue. It also contains digestive enzymes that disrupt blood flow and stop blood from clotting. In its prey, these effects cause severe internal bleeding.1

The snake is shy and avoids humans when it can. Most bites in Ontario happened after people handled it or accidentally stepped on it. Only two deaths from its bites have been recorded in Ontario, and in both cases the victims did not receive proper treatment.1

Yeroo sodaatu maal godha?

It is shy and tends to withdraw from people rather than confront them.1
