Lan la daŋar biy sóob di def?
Its venom is dominated by three-finger toxins, which make up about 90% of the venom proteins. This is the highest three-finger toxin level recorded in any snake venom. The venom also contains snake venom metalloproteinases and phospholipases A2, which damage tissue. If venom gets in the eyes, it causes extreme pain and mechanical damage to the eyeball, and can cause permanent blindness if not properly flushed out.1

- If venom gets in the eyes, it must be flushed out thoroughly with lots of clean water, as incomplete flushing can lead to permanent blindness. Any bite needs urgent hospital care.1
