The snake will not hesitate to strike fast with its deadly poison if threatened

When a black mamba is angry or feels threatened, it flattens its neck, hisses loudly and opens its mouth to show its deadly fangs. The snake will not hesitate to strike fast with its deadly poison if threatened. It bites many times, injecting its poison into the victim. A single bite has enough venom to kill 25 grown men.

If a person is bitten, his mouth tingles, he gets dizzy and his heart beat becomes irregular. He also sweats a lot, foams at the mouth and sees double. If not treated quickly, he can go into a coma and die.
