This begins one to three weeks after the bite.

This toxic bite is a rare trait among mammals and unique to lorisid primates.

In the early stage, symptoms are typically either not present or mild and may include fever, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, or local swelling at the site of the bite.

A bite by a North American copperhead on the ankle is usually a moderate injury to a healthy adult, but a bite to a child's abdomen or face by the same snake may be fatal.

There are reports of this snake being aggressive when molested, but like most snakes, it will usually try to escape rather than immediately bite or face their threat.

And I think the reason it has a sting is because thousands of years of history don't reverse themselves without a lot of pain, and that's why I talk about us all going through this together.
