The Brazilian lancehead is a highly venomous snake, a type of pit viper, found in South America. It lives in forests and open woodland in Brazil and nearby countries, and it hunts mostly at night. Its venom damages muscle and blood, so bites need urgent medical care.1

Its venom is haemolytic (it breaks down red blood cells) and proteolytic (it breaks down proteins). A muscle-damaging component causes necrosis, meaning the muscle tissue dies, and the venom also stops blood from clotting. Symptoms may include intense local pain, swelling and muscle death, and the venom can cause severe bleeding and strokes.1
