...?

-- No it wont the diegestive and cardiac system are not connected what so ever and if you want to cure the sting suck out the venom, spit it out, tie up the limb to stop blood flow, then find a hospital.

Answer 2

You will die eventually anyway whether you swallow a snake or not.

The swallowing of a snake could be the cause of death in various scenarios such as the snake is alive and venomous and it bites you and injects venom into you.

Swallowing a dead snake is most probably safe unless it was a venomous snake and somehow you manage to get the venom into your bloodstream directly (in the stomach, your digestive juices will render the venom harmless, there are no - or VERY few poisonous snakes - I think only one or two kinds in the world).

Answer 3

of course! It will affect your stomach and intestines. Swallowing snake venom is just like eating poisonous food!

Answer 4

Yes it can, but it won't get itself poisoned or anything.

Answer 5

It cannot kill you but it will produce severe gastrointestinal effects.

Answer 6

Venom is not toxic if swallowed unless one has an open sore in the mouth or in the digestive system. It would simply be digested as a food.

Answer 7

They do it all the time as venom is not a poison. A human can generally drink most venoms and suffer no ill effects. However, if the same venom is injected, it can cause serious issues.
