Forza dal tissi
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
Quant privlus è el per umans?
Privel per umans: DolurusQuai po far propi mal, ma i n'è bunamain mai grav.One bite is documented, recorded by a researcher. It caused pain and swelling but healed fully in about two weeks.1
Sch'el morda
- Tegna la persuna immobila e quieta, tegna il member mors a l'autezza dal cor, prenda giu anels e chaussas strenschidas e va spert en in ospital.
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.

Fatgs
It is possibly the smallest viper in the world.1
Its population faces unusually high annual mortality, between 39% and 56%, because of its small size and the many predators in its environment.1
To cope with this losses, it is thought to breed once every year. Most vipers breed every other year or less often.1
It lives in a comparatively narrow strip of coastal dunes, where temperatures change little between seasons.1
