What would kill you quicker venom or constriction?

Answer 1

It's a very difficult question to answer.since we know both the methods used by snakes to devour their preys are highly efficient methods set by evolution towords their survival. Now, whether we will be killed first by snake venom is depended on so many factors.like a certain minimum lethal dose of venom is required for we human to carry all systemic symptoms and die atlast.Then the venom dose to produce death varies from person to person.Since the same quantitity of poison could kill a baby human quite rapidly owing to its smaller body surface area to be acted by poison.Then think of a person who might be immuned to snake venom a little by virtue of his genetic make up in such case the minimum dose to produce death increases.Consider the offending agent (The snake itself).Whether at the time of the bite the snake has delivered sufficient poison to kill ?Most of the time the snake bites without a killer instinct.(A bite without venom).Then comes the time of contact of fang & skin.With brain reflexes on no person is going to allow simply the snake to come and bite of its own.So the contact time might be less,the person might flew for mere fear, enough to avoid ingesting a killing dose.Then comes the place of bite.A sufficient dose of venom poured directly in a blood vessel would produce death instantly by fibrillating the heart. On the other hand that much dose deposited elsewhere at a dull site like the skin of the toe,the ball of the elbow. (where the blood circulation is dull).a person might altogather escape death due to poor absorbance of venom from the spot.Thus there lie so many factors to produce death from snakebite.But how first ?So does the death produce by constriction by powerful non-poisonous snakes like the Boas,the pythons.Anacondas, built up of single muscle.The objective is to stranglehold the prey and kill rapidly by want of air (Asphyxia).But how first ?

Answer 2

Venom typically acts quicker than constriction to incapacitate prey or threats. Venomous snakes inject venom through their bite, which can quickly affect the victim's nervous system or blood circulation. Constrictors, like pythons or boas, use their bodies to suffocate or crush prey, which can take longer for the victim to succumb to.
