Its venom is highly cytotoxic, which means it damages cells. The venom is produced in very small amounts. Bite symptoms usually include mild to intense pain, local swelling with occasional blistering, and necrosis (death of tissue) and swollen lymph nodes near the bite. Dry throat and nausea may appear in the early stages.1

Bites are common in some parts of Africa. It is the third most common cause of serious snakebites in South Africa, after the Mozambique spitting cobra and the puff adder. Snake handlers are often bitten, because the snake can bite while being held by its neck. No deaths have been recorded, but the bite is serious.1

Sch'el morda

  • Any bite from this snake needs medical treatment as soon as possible. The bite is serious and treatment will need to be provided by medical staff.1
  • Lava la morsa, tegna la persuna quieta e tschertga agid medicinal. Tschertas spezias (sco il boomslang) pon esser mortalas pir uras pli tard.

Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid

Resta en segirezza

  • Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
  • Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
  • Sch'in tal animal ta morda: resta calm, na ta mova betg, clama tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911) u va spert en in ospital. Ta regorda co ch'el veseva or, ina foto gida.
