Did you know we have antivenom?
▪️Venom can attack the blood, red blood cells, nervous system, major organs, cause necrosis, and/or have negative long-term effects if not treated
▪️All venoms are different and may work synergistically to increase toxicity. E.g. clotting and thinning simultaneously.
▪️Can affect every major organ in the body.
▪️May be immediate and visible effects as well as delayed effects (both local or systemic).
▪️Venom binding times vary but may last for multiple days.
