Its venom is thick and syrupy, and contains potent neurotoxins that act on the nerves, and possibly cardiotoxins that affect the heart. The venom can affect the respiratory system, nervous system and heart. When death occurs, it normally takes one to ten hours, or more, and is often caused by respiratory failure due to paralysis.1

It is regarded as one of the most dangerous cobras in Africa because of its potent venom and its frequent presence around houses. The mortality rate for untreated bites is not exactly known, but is thought to be high, around 50%. Outcomes depend on factors such as the amount of venom injected and the bitten person's state of mind.1

When threatened, it raises its forebody, spreads a broad hood, may hiss loudly and strikes readily.1

Mechanical ventilation (a machine that helps the person breathe) and symptom management are often enough to save a life. Serious cases need antivenom, which is a polyvalent antivenom produced by the South African Institute of Medical Research.1
