Spitting cobras use venom spray as a defense mechanism, and not for catching their prey. They aim at the eyes and will hold the venom until the face moves. It will not harm the skin, however, if it comes in contact with the eyes it can cause temporary or permanent blindness, along with severe pain. If the venom falls on open wounds, it can be fatal.
