A member asked:
Can coral snake venom may cause hypotension and circulatory collapse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very late..: Coral snake venom is a neuro toxin, unlike the rattlesnake which is a hemo (blood cell) toxin. Neuro toxins cause paralysis of the respiratory muscles, so you stop breathing. The inability to breath and lack of oxygen will eventually cause hypotension and circulatory collapse...Just before you die.
