neurotoxic venom

Neurotoxic venom is a type of poison that specifically targets the nervous system, impairing communication between the brain and body. When injected through a bite or sting, it can block nerve signals, leading to symptoms like paralysis, difficulty breathing, or even death if untreated. These venoms contain specialized proteins that interfere with nerve signaling pathways, disrupting muscle movement and vital functions. Neurotoxic venoms are common in certain snakes, spiders, and other creatures. Prompt medical treatment, including antivenom and supportive care, is essential to counteract their effects and ensure safety.
