Do Coral Snakes Have Neurotoxins?
However, the venom of the Eastern coral snake contains very potent neurotoxins that can cause severe illness or death if left untreated. The neurotoxic venom blocks an important neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is important for the activation of muscles in the body.[6]
Are Pit Vipers Neurotoxic?
The toxicity of rattlesnake venom varies widely. It is possible for pit vipers’ venom to be strictly neurotoxic with virtually no local signs of envenomation. Venom consists of 90% water and has a minimum of 10 enzymes and 3 to 12 nonenzymatic proteins and peptides in any individual snake.[7]
What Snake Has A Potent Neurotoxin In Its Venom?
Elapid snakes—including coral snakes, cobras, mambas, sea snakes, and kraits—have primarily neurotoxic venom. In contrast, vipers—including rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths—have primarily hemotoxic venom. However, these characterizations of venoms by type of snake are not consistent.[8]
