Cobra Venom

Cobra venom is a complex mixture of proteins and enzymes produced by the snake to immobilize and digest prey. It contains neurotoxins that affect nerve signals, causing paralysis, as well as enzymes that damage tissue and blood cells. The potency varies among species, and the venom can be highly dangerous to humans, potentially leading to paralysis, tissue damage, or death if not treated promptly. Medical treatment often involves antivenom, which neutralizes the venom's effects. Understanding cobra venom helps in developing effective treatments and studying snake biology and evolution.
