Adder venom varies in potency among species, but it generally contains a mix of enzymes and toxins that can cause pain, swelling, and tissue damage in humans. While the venom is not typically lethal to healthy adults, it can be dangerous, especially for children or those with compromised health. Prompt medical attention is recommended for snake bites to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Overall, adders' venom is considered relatively weak compared to that of other venomous snakes, but caution is always warranted.
