Its venom is neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. It blocks signals between nerves and muscles, which causes paralysis. Symptoms can include blurred vision, difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking, and breathing failure. In a well-reported case in the Amazon, the victim reached hospital about 20 minutes after the bite.1

E kotsi go le kae go batho?

Kotsi go batho: E kotsi thataE ka bolaya motho yo o sa alafiweng.

Bites are rare, but the venom can cause paralysis of the cranial nerves and can be fatal. The estimated lethal dose for an adult human is 18–20 mg, which is higher than the 4–7 mg for smaller coral snake species. Because it is a large snake, it can carry a lot of venom, with an average yield of 56 mg and a maximum of 160 mg when milked by scientists.1

When threatened, it flattens its body and raises its tail.1

Fa e loma

A bite needs hospital care. In a recorded case, the victim needed mechanical ventilation because paralysis of the breathing muscles made it hard to breathe, and was given specific Micrurus antivenom.1
