News.LIVE provides useful tips on this.

What to Do When Encountering a Viper

Remember that a viper will only attack first if you provoke it. So, if you see it, do not make sudden movements, do not try to kill or chase it away. Just stop and slowly back away without turning your back on the snake.

How to Avoid Encountering a Viper While Relaxing

Before sitting or lying down on the grass while resting, make sure to carefully inspect it. Move only along well-trodden paths, avoiding bushes and do not put your hands into hollows or under stones.

If you plan to take a walk or relax in nature, be sure to wear sturdy shoes and long pants. Another tip is to speak loudly if you are in a group, as a viper will sense the vibrations and avoid you.

What to Do If a Viper Bites You

If you are bitten by a viper, try not to move the limb, do not suck out the poison, and do not apply ice. Immediately call for an ambulance or get to a medical station as soon as possible.
