The Dangerous of Serpents

1. Local poisoning
This condition shows the direct effect of snake bites on the affected part of the body. Usually not far from swelling and blisters. However, in certain cases, there may be direct necrosis (tissue death) because certain toxins contained in the venom directly react with the body tissue of prey.

2. Hypotension
Once bitten, the plasma present in the blood vessels of the body that undergoes it will boro and result in massive internal bleeding. In the case of a bad hypotension or blood pressure may decrease dramatically. Even on a certain type of snake bite, this can take place in just a matter of minutes.

3. Blood clotting disorders
Venom snake contains procoagulant enzymes that can interfere with blood clotting process. And if this condition is not immediately addressed, there will be systemic bleeding that not only spontaneous but also potentially deadly.

4. Paralysis
There are a number of proteins in venom snakes that are neurotoxic or cause nerve paralysis, especially in the upper body. The average patient with this kind of paralysis dies from a disturbance or paralysis of the respiratory system. Some of them feel sleepy due to lack of air circulation or blood from the paralysis.

5. Myotoxicity
This is a type of toxin commonly found in sea snake species. Once released, these toxins will spread to blood vessels and muscles, resulting in effects such as paralysis. As with neurotoxicity, patients with myotoxic infections may die from paralysis or weakness of the respiratory muscle or acute kidney injury.

6. Acute kidney injury
There are various types of kidney disorders that occur in those who have been bitten by a snake. The most common is 'acute tubular necrosis' or tissue death in the kidneys, suggesting a direct effect of snake venom. Could also be because of the hypotension is too long.
