Cobra venom is generally primarily neurotoxic. Thus, I do not think that the necrosis would be too horrible compared to other species. TMK, when a spitter nails you in the eye, about all you can do is rinse with as much water as possible being sure to hold your eye open with one hand so that you rinse the eyeball too. The areas where the venom hits around the eyes may become irritated, swell, or develop a rash. I had some venom from a 6' Black Neck Spitter get on my arm and it turned red withing minutes and was very irritated for aout a day. As for the AV and envenomation treatment, I will have to go through my literature for that. it is a pretty obscure species. I would assume that protocol would be similar to most elapid envenomations. A pressure bandage (not a turniquet) I would think would be a very good idea.
