What is the deadliest venom in America?

Answer 1

The deadliest venom in America is produced by the Eastern Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis), although it is primarily found in Australia. Among native American snakes, the Mojave rattlesnake (Crotalus scutulatus) is notable for having one of the most potent venoms, which contains a neurotoxin that can cause severe paralysis and is potentially fatal. Other venomous creatures, like the black widow spider and the box jellyfish (though primarily found in coastal waters), also pose significant risks due to their venom. However, fatalities from these encounters are rare with prompt medical treatment.
