Coral snakes cause about 1% of accidents in Central and South America. The venom is highly potent. In laboratory milking, the average yield was 10 to 12 mg, about twice the estimated lethal dose of 6 to 8 mg for an adult human.1

Ebituufu

1

The largest venom yield recorded in the laboratory was 65 mg, enough to kill 5 to 6 people.1

2

Some of its toxins act before the nerve signal reaches the muscle. They make nerves release too much acetylcholine, a chemical messenger, and then block the signal to the muscle.1

3

Its venom contains many toxin families, including phospholipase A2 and three-finger toxins.1

4

Adult females can lay up to 15 eggs.1
