Snake venom is collected for use as antivenin.antivenin counteracts the effects of a snake bite. it is weird that they use venom to treat venom but they do.
there is no chmeical formula in the snake venom.
There is a tiny market for snake venom.
No, sheep are not immune to snake venom.
A poisonous snake has venom glands in which it can inject venom when it bites. A non- poisonous snake has no venom glands and will not inject venom , but they can have harmful bacteria in their mouth.
No, because, actually, the snakes' venom is its' saliva (spit). -no kidding! And the species of snake is immune to its own venom. Hope this helps as well.
a snake milker milks the snake for it's venom to produce an anti-venom to save peoples lives when bitten by a venomous snake.
No, I watched a TV show where they milked the snake to get its venom. The venom is used to make antivenom, which is used to help people who are bitten. The snakes were not harmed by the process. The snake will regenerate more venom later, but it will not be able to eat in the meantime as its means of catching prey have been removed.
Snake venom is modified saliva - produced in two 'venom sacs' in the snakes head.
Eating the venom is not a problem . . . the trouble starts when the venom enters the bloodstream via a snake bite.
There are three type of snake venom such as neurotoxic,hemotoxic and myotoxic.
Platypus venom would certainly be enough to kill a snake - but the snake could well inject its own venom in the platypus at the same time.
