E, Er, L, P, “local hemorrhage” {Reported as
part of a retrospective review (see text), original
case documentation unavailable and species
identification/verification are unknown. Cases
likely involve multiple species of Helicops ;
it is unclear if confirmed identification was
established of snakes involved in all of these
cases. Salomão et al. (2003) attributed reported
“local hemorrhage” to action of Duvernoy's
secretions along with skin perforation from the
inflicted bite}
