Its venom has not been well studied, but it is believed to be dangerously neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves, as most elapids' venoms do. Laboratory tests on mice showed that its venom is very potent, with some of the lowest lethal doses recorded for any African cobra studied so far.1

Quant privlus è el per umans?

Privel per umans: Fitg privlusEl po mazzar ina persuna che na survegn nagin tractament.

It is secretive and seldom met by people. It is generally not aggressive and bites only when provoked.1

Bunas novitads: ils medis han in medicament (antiserum) u in tractament per quai.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

On land, when threatened, it rears up, spreads its hood and may hiss loudly, but it tends not to lunge forward. In water, it swims away quickly.1

Sch'el morda

  • Tegna la persuna immobila e quieta, prenda giu anels e chaussas strenschidas e va spert en in ospital: l'antiserum è il tractament.
