It's not nasty, but it does seem to be neurotoxic. At least according to what little info I have been able to collect on the subject.

Besides, cytotoxins are nastier. No, I don't have anything to back it up with, but purely as an exercise in imagination, getting killed with neurotoxins or hemotoxins seems nicer.


James,
Any suggestions for a first venomous snake? Any suitable Vipera (not berus)? I have no intentions of getting bit.
