Field's horned viper is a venomous snake from the viper family. It lives in the deserts of the Middle East. Its venom is unusual because it attacks the nerves, while most vipers' venom damages tissue and blood vessels.1

Its venom contains several fractions with marked neurotoxic activity, which means it attacks the nerves. This differs from the Persian horned viper, whose venom causes strong bleeding and tissue damage typical of most vipers. Its venom is venomous, so bites are a medical emergency.1

  • No antivenom is available for bites from this snake. A polyvalent antiserum may offer some protection against its blood-damaging toxins, but none against the nerve-attacking effects of its venom.1
