people who have studied them in costa rica have found that they have very strong myonecrotic activity. sevaral people have died by being bitten by them in costa rica and columbia in costa rica its about 3 to 6 in some years. the amount of venom carried averages about 12mg dry weight , so an average bite injects about 0.5 cc of venom. according to a field guide book that i have read.

Which eyelash vipers are you talking about, atheris or bothriechis? If you're talking about bothriechis, there is an AV, Costa Rican Poly.
