Not as fast as the Mamba and their poison doesn't work as fast as the Cobra, the Puff Adders kill more people due to the fact that their "defense" is to stay real still, preferably under some leaves or grass. Thus they get stepped on a lot.

One of our Tia's who worked helping take care of the children in the Center was taking food to the shepherds one night and stepped on a Puff Adder. It got one fang into her right foot. It took her 3 days to die.

On the Farm they kill one every few days. Some big ones.
