16-year-old bitten by puff adder
A mother took to Facebook and shared her recent ordeal with her son. The adventurous boy was out and about when he came across a puff adder and decided to touch it. The teenager quickly learned his lesson as the puff adder struck him when he tried to handle it. Fortunately, the 16-year-old was able to receive medical treatment following the dangerous puff adder bite. According to Kruger National Park, puff adders are dangerous because of their cytotoxic venom. A puff adder bite causes swelling, blisters, and tissue damage. It is rare to die from puff adder bites as long as there is some medical treatment.
