Local effects can be severe, with pain, massive swelling, blistering and necrosis (death of tissue), which may need surgery to relieve pressure (fasciotomies) and in some cases amputation. Whole-body effects are rare, including bleeding problems, kidney failure and nerve damage (neurotoxicity). Only the venom of young snakes (neonates) contains crotoxin, a toxin that causes nerve symptoms.1
