The effects of snake venom on the human body depend on the type of snake and the composition of its venom. Generally, the effects can be categorized as:
Neurotoxic Effects: Venoms from snakes like cobras and mambas can paralyze muscles and affect respiratory function by disrupting nerve signal transmission. Hemotoxic Effects: Vipers and pit vipers often have venoms that cause clotting disorders, internal bleeding, and tissue necrosis. Cytotoxic Effects: Some venoms cause direct damage to cells, leading to swelling, pain, and tissue damage at the site of the bite.
