How Does Snake Venom Affect the Human Body?
Snake venom affects the human body in a number of ways, depending on the snake, the type of venom, and how much venom is released. Different snakes produce different types of venom, and even within a snake species, the components of venom appear to vary, depending on geographic location. This is why it is important to be able to identify the snake species involved when one is bitten, so that the appropriate anti-venom can be administered.
