venoms

Venoms are complex mixtures of proteins and enzymes produced by certain animals, such as snakes, spiders, and insects, to subdue prey or defend themselves. When injected through bites or stings, venoms can affect the victim's body by disrupting cell function, causing pain, swelling, or more serious health issues like paralysis or organ damage. They are specialized biological tools evolved to immobilize or kill prey quickly. While dangerous, venoms also offer potential benefits for medicine, helping develop drugs for pain relief, blood pressure regulation, and other treatments.
