#WIZARD WITH LOTS OF SNAKES SKIN#
This effect can itself cause fatal damage to the normal rhythm of the heart.Īlthough many venoms have evolved to rapidly paralyse and digest prey, another important venom action is defence.Īside from the physical trauma to the skin from a bite or a sting, these venoms frequently contain toxins that act in various ways to injure cells, trigger inflammation and even kill skin cells. Myotoxicity can also lead to massive increases in blood potassium levels, leached from the injured muscle cells. Not only is this a painful experience, it also causes the muscle protein, known as myoglobin, to leak into the urine, potentially poisoning the kidneys in the process. Typically, snake venom toxins dissolve the membrane of muscle cells. While not as quick as the effect on blood clotting, heart function or nerve signalling, myotoxicity can also be lethal. Most of Australia’s dangerous snakes have toxins in their venom that cause the body to destroy factors that help clot blood.Ī more insidious effect is muscle destruction known as myotoxicity. If not treated with antivenom, these early signs will eventually be followed by increasing difficulty talking, swallowing and, ultimately, breathing.Īnother potentially lethal effect of snakebite, rarely seen with other types of venoms, is altered blood clotting. Snake venoms start their paralysing effects on the muscles around the eyes (typically manifest as fixed dilated pupils, reduced eye movements and droopy eyelids).


The snake will not be looking for you, so be alert and on the lookout for snakes. An increased awareness of snakes is the best protection.Wear gloves and boots when moving stored materials and rubbish these will give some protection.Reduce rubbish/materials where a snake could shelter.
