The venom is made of crinotoxins and plototoxins. It mainly destroys red blood cells, and also causes swelling, pain and muscle spasms. Symptoms range from mild to severe and include extreme pain, dizziness, redness, swelling, tissue death, numbness, vomiting, breathing difficulty, shock and sepsis.1
