There's a bit about bites on this site.
Adder or Viper - Vipera berus
I know Adder bites can kill a dog so I assume an average person would feel a bit off colour for a while after a bite.

That must've hurt, poor guy . Bites from adders seem quite nasty.
I found this site which is a bit better and got a list of all the people who have died from an adder bite since 1900. Page 1 of 1. About Snake bites.
