I could understand if it snuggling up in the bed or attacking you if you mash it; but to see one and say 'he have venom-must kill' is something I would never understand, especially from a 'hunter' that should know the importance of all the animals along the food chain.

Extensive Tissue Necrosis of the Lower Limb in an 11-Year-Old Boy Who Had Been Bitten Two Weeks Earlier by a Bothrops asper in Ecuador.
Only antibiotic treatment had been given, so tissue damage was extensive, requiring above-knee amputation. Such pathological alterations are caused by the direct action of locally acting toxins in the venom (mostly metalloproteinases and phospholipases A 2), together with an indirect effect promoted by local inflammatory events and ischemia secondary to venom-induced vascular damage and increased intracompartmental pressure.

yeah, it eh nice at all. bushmaster venom is slower acting than ampeprie venom, but the downside is they inject more volume. once you make it out d bush within a couple hours after the bite and they administer antivenom yuh chances of recovery are relatively good but for him to have necrosis taking place, he musbe was real deep in d bush. he most likely gonna lose that lower leg.
when in d bush, eyes open, mind sharp & proper gear at all times fellas

ADONI, I sorry to tell you this eh but whoever told you that lied to you.
blue, they are not a very fast moving snake, so they are easy to avoid if you spot them early.
they will try to escape interaction with humans if possible, but if startled they won't move any more than it takes them to get into to striking if position if they see or sense you coming. they not as highly aggressive as the mappepire either, but they can strike a lot higher up than a mappepire normally would so getting bitten above the knee is possible.
