Cobras.

Human encounters with cobras in Africa and Asia are common with substantial mortality and primarily respiratory paralysis in untreated cases. First aid includes maintaining calm, placing a lymphatic retardant on the bitten extremity, and transportation to a medical facility. Medical management is antivenin. Physiologic monitoring and the ability to manage the compromised airway are important.
