Cenebrake is the venomous snake or poisonous, but this is one of North America's most dangerous snakes, because thic cernebrake has its long fangs, impressive size and high venom yield.

Cist (1845) described how he lived in western Pennsylvania for many years and that the species was quite common there, but that in all that time he heard of only a single death resulting from its bite.
