What immediate disabling effect does a successful venom spit from the *Naja nigricincta* have?

Causes immediate, intense pain and can lead to permanent blindness

While the bite from a *Naja nigricincta* delivers systemic neurotoxins, a successful venom spit targets the eyes, creating a distinct and arguably more immediate form of incapacitation. When the venom makes contact with the eyes, the victim experiences immediate, severe pain accompanied by intense inflammation. If this exposure is not dealt with via immediate and correct treatment, the outcome can be permanent blindness. This effect is often cited as being more immediately disabling than the slower onset of systemic effects from a sub-lethal bite, rendering the victim helpless to manage other dangers while the potential systemic venom absorption starts.
