Its venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves and the connections between nerves and muscles. Local effects are usually mild, with slight itching and numbness rather than serious swelling or pain. Symptoms usually start one to six hours after a bite and can include drooping eyelids, double vision, weakness, tongue paralysis, loss of voice and difficulty breathing.1

Estimated death rates from untreated bites vary between studies, from 25–35% to 70–100%. In a serious bite, breathing can stop and lead to death. In 2001, a juvenile bit the herpetologist Joe Slowinski in Myanmar and he died 29 hours later.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

It is generally timid and placid, but it is more defensive at night and thrashes about when handled.1

Fatgs

1

Its venom is among the most potent of any land snake, based on lab tests on mice dating back to 1943.1

2

In 2001, a juvenile bite in Myanmar killed Joe Slowinski, which drew worldwide attention to the species.1

3

The snake that bit Slowinski was first thought to be this species, but it was later classified as a different species.1

4

It is active from April and retreats into hibernation in November.1

Destructur da mits

Mit: American soldiers in the Vietnam War called it the "two-step snake", believing its venom could kill a person within two steps.

Vardad: Its symptoms usually start one to six hours after a bite, and death can take much longer. The two-step belief is wrong, and a bite still needs urgent medical care.1
