ሓደጋ ንሰባት: ኣዝዩ ሓደገኛሕክምና ዘይረኸበ ሰብ ክቐትል ይኽእል።Fewer bites are recorded from this snake than from cobras and vipers, because it is less aggressive and tends to avoid people. Bites usually happen when it is accidentally grabbed. Most sea snake bites happen when fishermen try to untangle the snakes from their nets.1
