The lethality of venom varies significantly depending on the species and the type of venom. For example, the box jellyfish's venom can cause death within minutes, while the venom of some snakes, like the inland taipan, is highly toxic but may require multiple bites to be lethal. The median lethal dose (LD50) of venom is often measured in micrograms per kilogram of body weight, but individual reactions can vary based on factors such as the recipient's size, health, and sensitivity.
