12 of the most terrifying poisonous snakes in the world
The giant belly adder is not the most venomous snake in Africa but is considered to be the most deadly snake in humans. This is due to the fact that venomous snakes are usually found in populated areas and prefer to bask near sidewalks. And then of course its highly poisonous venom, with a median lethal dose of 0.14mg, and the ability to inject large doses of venom through its long fangs. The venom of an average-sized giant viper is enough to kill 4-5 people. Symptoms of a bite include swelling, blood blisters, and nausea, and if left untreated, can lead to cell death, which can even lead to gangrene. This snake won't make way for you, so it's best to avoid them.
