African boomslang

It is only through the fault of the person that the boomslang becomes aggressive and attacks. In 9 out of 10 cases, when meeting a person, the snake simply tries to hide. But if she still has to attack, then the outcome will be sad. As soon as boomslang poison enters the bloodstream, it immediately begins to destroy cells. Paralysis will come instantly, followed by sudden death. The story of the death of the famous zoologist Karl Paterson Schmidt is connected with the bite of this snake. In 1957, during an expedition, he tried to catch an African boomslang and study it: he grabbed a snake, and she was able to dodge and bite the zoologist by the hand. While dying, the scientist kept notes until the last moment in which he noted his condition.
