Puff Adder Bite in Slow Motion Shows How Deadly They Can Be

A puff adder bite is no joke.

Those who've received a puff adder bite know how devastatingly harmful the effects can be.

Check out this clip, which details how a puff adder bite looks in super slow motion.

Watch at your own risk, because this is going to get a little dicey.

Typically, the puff adder would bite and its fangs would pump venom into the victim's blood, but this balloon just popped.

Did you notice what the snake did before the bite? It flicked out its tongue and curled up into an "S" shape before launching at the balloon.

If you happen upon a puff adder in the near future, stay clear, or your fate will be worse than this balloon's.
