Philippine cobra
The Philippine cobra is a stocky, highly venomous snake that lives in the northern parts of the Philippines. It is a type of spitting cobra, and its bite can cause serious breathing problems very quickly. It is important to know it because it lives close to people, in farms, villages and near water.1

毒液之力
它咬的时候,毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。
它的毒液会造成什么?
Its venom is a potent neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves and stops nerve signals from reaching the muscles. This can cause respiratory paralysis, meaning the victim can no longer breathe properly. Symptoms can include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, dizziness and difficulty breathing. In some cases, breathing stopped within 30 minutes of the bite.1
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 致命世界上最危险的动物之一。Bites cause severe neurotoxicity that comes on quickly, with little or no swelling at the bite site. In a study of 39 patients bitten by this snake in 1988, 19 developed complete respiratory failure and there were two deaths. Both people who died were already in a critical state when they reached hospital.1
它害怕时会做什么?
When threatened, it forms a hood, and females can spit venom at a target up to 3 metres away.1
如果它咬人或吐毒液
- 让人保持安静不动,摘下戒指和紧身物品,尽快送医院:抗毒血清是治疗方法。
- 如果毒液被喷进眼睛,立刻用大量清水冲洗。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实
Only female Philippine cobras have been reported to spit their venom, and they can hit a target up to 3 metres away.1
Its venom is considered one of the most toxic among cobra species, although toxicity can vary between individual snakes.1
Research has found that its venom is purely a neurotoxin, with no cardiotoxins and no obvious tissue-destroying components.1
Large rats sometimes fight back after being bitten. They can injure the snake's eyes, and this can leave it blind.1
