What does venom do to your body?

Answer 1

The Rattlesnake venom is highly Hemotoxic. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding and intense pain. Some subspecies also contain a neurotoxic component in their venom that may cause paralysis. Rattlesnake bites are rarely fatal to adult humans. If an anti-venom treatment is given within the first 1-2 hours, the probability of recovery is nearly 99%.

Answer 3

Rattlesnake venom rarely kills adult humans. Those with illnesses or extremely small body mass there is a small possibility of death. Quick medical treatment should prevent death in nearly every case. ALWAYS get treatment for any snake bites - depending on the bite location, it can take less than a minute or longer than 20 minutes for the pain to begin from a rattlesnake bite. The venom will cause extensive tissue damage, because it is part of how the snake digests its' prey. Prompt medical care can reduce the long-term damage the venom will cause to muscle and skin tissue. Scarring will happen, but the faster medical care is given the less severe the scarring will be.

It depends on what the type of venom is. For two examples:

♦ A bite from a cobra is a toxin that eats cells and can shut down your organs, including your heart. This kind of venom can literally cause your skin to rot off your bones.

♦ A number of other snakes and animals has a type of toxin called neurotoxin. This type of toxin travels to your nerves and can shut them down, causing you to be unable to breathe.
