Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The venom contains about 80 types of toxins. Six are Bactridines, which block sodium channels in the nervous system. Ten are considered dangerous to humans, because their low molecular weight lets them travel quickly through the bloodstream to the heart, lungs and pancreas. The sting can cause sweating, breathlessness, excessive salivation, cramps, fever and vomiting.1
