When a venomous snake strikes, its fangs inject venom directly into the tissue beneath the skin. From there, the venom begins spreading through blood vessels and the lymphatic system, quickly traveling through the body. Snake venom is a complex mixture of proteins, enzymes, and toxic molecules. Different toxins affect the body in different ways. Neurotoxins attack the nervous system and can stop muscles from working, including the muscles needed for breathing. Hemotoxins damage blood cells and blood vessels, causing bleeding and swelling. Cytotoxins destroy cells and surrounding tissue near the bite. In this video, we break down the biological process of envenomation and explain exactly how snake venom affects the human body.
