We describe the case of a patient with a serious general anaphylactic reaction and massive local reaction of the upper limb, which occurred after the Vipera berus's bite. In the paper, we present current knowledge of mechanisms of the Vipera berus venom's action, classification of the poisoning severity and dependent on it methods of treatment.
