Its venom is cytotoxic, which means it damages cells, and it has haemolytic activity, which means it breaks down red blood cells. It may also contain neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. Early symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and headache. Within 24 hours, severe cases can progress to rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and acute kidney injury if fluid replacement and antivenom are not given. One strike delivers about 30 milligrams of venom.1

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

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

Its bite can be fatal. It was once thought to be only moderately venomous to people, but it is now known to have caused severe envenomation. It is considered the nineteenth most venomous snake in the world.1

  • Fluid replacement and black snake antivenom should be given as soon as possible, because serious kidney damage can occur within 24 hours. Black snake or tiger snake antivenom can be used.1
  • Pressure immobilisation: phuthela bandeje e tiileng e huduhang (elastiki) hodima moo e lomileng teng ebe o nyolla setho sohle, o se tlame ka splint (lepolanka la ho se tshehetsa), mme o boloke motho a sa sisinyehe ho hang ho fihlela thuso e fihla.
