Like other species in the genus Atheris, it has highly toxic venom. Not much is known about the venom itself. Envenomation has caused severe bleeding and haemorrhaging, which means bleeding inside the body.1

Bites are known to have caused severe bleeding and haemorrhaging. Little else is known about how dangerous it is to people.1
