Venom can kill, generally, in three different ways. A nerve toxin, such as from a rattlesnake or black widow, shuts down nerve pathways and thus the body's organs. Bee venom, for example, can cause a deadly allergic reaction, stopping the victim's breathing. Finally, a bacterial toxin, such as from a Komodo dragon's bite, causes a deadly infection.

It depends on the species, the amount of venom injected, and health of the victim. The eastern diamondback, the largest species, injects larger amounts of venom, and could kill in a matter of hours. The Mojave has the most toxic venom, ounce for ounce, and could also kill in that amount of time.
