Yes, they are poisonous, but they usually do not bite unless you step on them. (According to Swedish poisons information centre, approximately 250-300 people are hospitalized each year in Sweden as a result of viper bites, and 20-30% of them get moderate to severe symptoms. However, the reaction after adder bites varies greatly depending on the amount of venom injected. In 25-30% of cases there are no symptoms, which is due to no poison being injected. Usually you see two small bite marks at 6-9 mm intervals. If a viper injects venom, it in most cases causes pain and later a bluish swelling around the bite site. In severe cases, you can be affected early on with symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, heart attack and decreased consciousness. The swelling and discoloration can spread and include the entire bitten body part and also parts of the torso.)

Nej. Svart huggorm. 😊
