Neurotoxins
No. They have some resistance to venom but it still affects them.
Copperhead snakes have hemotoxic venom, which primarily affects the blood and blood vessels of their prey. This venom can lead to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and tissue damage in humans if bitten. It is less potent compared to venom from some other venomous snake species.

When a snake bites you it affects you because they inject their venom inside your body. Some are poisonous and can lead to serious injury or even death in some cases if the venom is that irritating!
There are three type of snake venom such as neurotoxic,hemotoxic and myotoxic.
The bushmaster (Lachesis muta) possesses a hemotoxic venom, which primarily affects the victim's blood and tissue. This type of venom can cause significant damage to blood cells, leading to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and internal bleeding. The venom is also anticoagulant, meaning it can disrupt the blood-clotting process, making it particularly dangerous. Overall, the bushmaster's venom is potent and can be life-threatening to humans if not treated promptly.
It's a type of tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxic venom similar to the kind found in fugu (Japanese blowfish).
