More dangerous than A.contortrix, less than T.albolabris. It doesn't show up on lists of the most dangerous crotalids, which leads me to surmise that it's generally sublethal. Although I would guess that there has been a death or 2 in the past. I personally don't deal with it as I do not live in its range. Good, supportive medical care will probably see you through an envenomation, however as with almost any crotalid, you can expect local tissue damage, and maybe the loss of a finger.

C cerastes has a good bite to it (in a bad sense that is...) Drop by drop this little animal has a more potent venom stocked than Crotalus adamanteus....
Best not to get bitten
Cheers, Peter
