Marine Venom

Marine venom refers to toxins produced by certain sea creatures—such as jellyfish, cone snails, and sea anemones—that they use to subdue prey or defend themselves. These venoms contain complex proteins and compounds that can affect the nervous system, muscles, or skin, sometimes causing pain, paralysis, or other health issues in humans. The potency varies widely among species; some venoms are harmless, while others can be lifes-threatening. Understanding marine venom helps in medical treatments for stings and in researching potential pharmaceuticals derived from these natural toxins.
