Although adders can be dangerous, they are generally shy of humans, and will
move away if approached. They will only bite if threatened, picked up, or
trodden on by accident.
Around 40% of bites release no venom into the victim.
Adder bites cause a painful swelling, fever and sickness, but rarely death. They
can be treated with anti-venom at a hospital.
