What are the Types of Snake Venom?

Venom is a biological toxin that is injected into the body to cause a reaction (often in order to protect the snake, or as a means of killing the snake’s normal prey).

The main types of venom include the following toxins:

1. Neurotoxins – which target the nervous system

2. Myotoxins, which target the muscles and cause rhabdomyolisis

3. Nephrotoxins, which damage the kidneys

4. Haemotoxins, which target the blood.
