Allen's coral snake is a venomous snake that lives in the forests of Central America. Its bright coral-type colouring is a warning sign, and its venom is powerful enough to be dangerous to people. It is one of the coral snakes that people in the region should know how to recognise and avoid.1

Matla a chefo

Ho loma

Chefo e tswa ka meno a yona a chefo (fangs) kapa ka meno a mang ha e loma.

Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

Its venom is powerful. When milked in a laboratory, the average yield was only 3 mg (dry weight).1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

Kotsi ho batho: E kotsi haholoE ka bolaya motho ya sa fumaneng kalafo.

The estimated lethal dose for an adult human is only 3–5 mg, so a small amount of venom can be fatal.1
