{Bite occurred after capture of a female specimen
(snout-vent length 317 mm) in an urban area
of Rio Grande of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
The victim-author described a brief bite (“a few
seconds”), and a 3-h progression of pain that
referred from the bitten R thumb to the R axilla.
The pain reportedly lasted for 3-4 days, and two
ecchymotic foci were described in the forearm
and biceps that disappeared on the fifth day
postbite. The victim was reviewed in the hospital,
but received no specific treatment}

Liotyphlops spp. (Note: these snakes
are in the “primitive” superfamily,
Scolecophidia ( Typhlopoidea),
family, Anomalepidae; thus, these
snakes were not part of the previous
Colubridae; species in reported series
were unidentified) Dawn blind snakes;
other common names according to
species (many used for other fossorial
species including other blind snakes)

E, L, P “local hemorrhage” {Reported as part
of a retrospective review (see text), original
case documentation unavailable, and species
identification/verification are unknown. The
majority of cases included in the review featured
P (57.1%) and reportedly primarily involved
bites inflicted on children digging up soil and
bitten on bare lower extremities. Identification of
snakes involved in these reports is of particular
importance as these snakes have very few teeth.
Therefore, confirmation of identity in these
reports is essential}
