Its venom contains a neurotoxin, which is a venom that attacks the nerves. Calliotoxin causes almost instant paralysis in prey by stopping the prey's sodium channels from switching off properly. This effect has not been seen in humans. The venom also contains phosphodiesterases, which release adenosine and can lower blood pressure and cause inflammation in prey and in bite victims.1
