Forza dal tissi

Morsas

Il tissi vegn or tras ses dents da tissi u ses dents, cura ch'el morda.

Tge fa ses tissi?

The venom is injected by bite. In one documented bite, the victim had intense pain, pronounced swelling, discolouration and oozing of fluid from the puncture marks. A 5 mm haematoma (a swelling of blood under the skin) formed after 24 hours. Symptoms eased over three to four days, and healing was complete after two weeks, with no loss of function. Minimal local tissue damage and no whole-body effects were reported.1
