Its venom contains excitatory neurotoxins, which overstimulate the nerves, and cardiotoxins, which damage the heart. Reported symptoms in people include severe local pain, swelling, heavy sweating, vomiting, numbness that spreads, muscle twitching, convulsions, drowsiness, hallucinations, fast breathing, a fast heartbeat and heavy drooling. Symptoms can come on quickly and become severe.1

Two of these patients had intense rhabdomyolysis, a breakdown of muscle tissue, and acute kidney injury.1
