World's Deadliest Venom (Snake Documentary) | Real Wild

It is one of nature's most efficient ways to kill once injected into the bloodstream it can damage nerves and flesh in minutes and cause searing pain in seconds this is a poison a virulent biological toxin and the weapon of choice for thousands of species, but which is the most deadly to man of those creatures armed with this lethal cocktail that is most likely to kill him among the poisonous creatures of the

world

, there are those whose reputation is infamous, but there are many lesser-known killers out there, from mollusks even fish can be armed on board. biological weapons that are one hundred percent natural and in many cases deadly, but when it comes to human beings there has always been a great debate about which of these creatures presents the greatest threat, which has inspired one man to come up with a new and pioneering System to classify the most dangerous Venom Dr. in the

world

the fall and then we want include things like how aggressive the animals are and what their population distribution is. This classification system allows Jamie Seymour to understand the different threats posed by venomous creatures and ultimately identify measures to minimize the risks. It consists of five categories, the first is opportunity or how likely it is that a creature has the opportunity to purchase those poisonous creatures that live in densely populated areas will score much higher, then comes aggression, we are more likely to become in victims of aggressive and rather timid species, then there is the injection mechanism how well the animal administers its poison in relation to the quantity, in short, the amount of poison administered in a single bite or sting, last but not less important, is the potency, how toxic the drop of poison is to the deadly drop, considering these five factors together is a A new approach that allows you to compete for the first time with all these poisonous animals and find which is the most lethal animal for the humans.

I'm not quite sure it is yet, but I think we're going to find some surprises along the way. In a way, let's take a look at the weapon itself, although most of us will have heard of poison. How many

real

ly know what it is? Venom is a mixture of biological toxins, unlike a poison that must be swallowed or absorbed through the skin. The poison is injected into the body. During a sting or bite, it can be used to hunt, incapacitating the prey, or as a defensive weapon against an attack. The difference in strength and how the venom works will have a significant effect on how it acts in the human body, something Jamie Seymour has learned firsthand as his new study pits him against the creature in which most of the People think when they hear the word poison: the snake.

There are over 30 species of rattlesnakes, all carrying different venoms, while some venoms target the body's nervous system creating havoc. With the complex network of nerves that control its vital functions, others attack the flesh and tissues, effectively initiating the digestive process even before the victim has bitten its prey, the rattlesnake waits for the venom to take effect before feeding. to someone who has handled many of these creatures. Over the years, Jules Sylvester has been helping filmmakers obtain footage of dangerous animals for many years and is leading Jamie to find the most dangerous rattlesnakes in North America and obtain a venom sample for future testing. , but in this rugged terrain, this medium-sized rattlesnake is extremely difficult to spot if you don't know what to look for, you can be standing right on top of a meter long Mojave and still not see it, so Jamie Seymour has taken the precaution to use bite-proof Kevlar leg protectors.

Oh Jules Jules, that's a Mojave. very very potent neurotoxin, it is the most unusual, like most rattlesnakes, hemotoxic, yes that is neurotoxin, Mojave venom is a complex cocktail of enzymes and other proteins that form an incredibly strong neurotoxin designed to block Activating the nerves, especially those that control the muscles, is the fastest way to stop the prey in its tracks, nothing like an event we are receiving from the other NOC, the nerves and the game about its paralysis and death, the The Mojave rattlesnake is not the only rattlesnake in these parts; in the nearby lower desert, it is the largest and most infamous western one.

Diamondback, but despite their overlapping territories, each has a very different venom, the Western Diamondback carries a hemotoxic venom that attacks blood vessels like that of many snakes. The venom starts the chemical decomposition of the flesh before it even eats the victim, which is the classic Western rattlesnake from Diamondback, all the cowboy movies. This is the best Hollywood snake in the world. These guys account for more snake bites than any other snake in the country. It's obvious that bells make noise and so why do you want it? It's a warning, the bison probably won't step on it.

It's a go away, leave me alone the western diamondback is more widespread and is likely to be found on the outskirts of towns and cities another American rattlesnake has adapted to quite a different habitat the South Pacific rattlesnake prefers a coastal climate Green Hollywood Hills Rattlesnake The South Pacific Rattlesnake is the only one that is venomous in the Los Angeles area, although we have thick undergrowth here, we are about an hour from Hollywood, previously categorized as grade B or low vigor , this species is now emerging as a major threat to people living in the area. Los Angeles Basin as a snake bite doctor dr.

Sean Bush knows this very well and we mainly see bites from South Pacific Rattlesnakes because snow snakes live where people like to live, meaning along the coast and in the mountains, these snakes often They stray into people's driveways and backyards and, although it may be tempting. To try to eliminate them, it is always best to be careful and ask for help, as this man found out the hard way, took matters into my own hands and made a huge mistake and within an hour, my hand exploded like a balloon, this hospital He is used to treating several snake bites a day and when dr.

Busch received a phone call informing him that his own son had been bitten and he feared the worst. My son was actually in the backyard and picked up a small rattlesnake. They bit us. We actually had five snakes. My patients at the hospital that day. My wife Paige. pain nine one one, you know, I'm thinking the worst and I've seen all kinds of bad things happen to people with snake bites, boy, join in, you did good, your hands are a little bruised right now, now there's a bit of concern with snakes. which maybe I should tell a story threatening sound the rattlesnake is actually one of the easiest venomous snakes to avoid the rattlesnake is a benign early warning system a device to make sure that anything approaching is aware of Its presence the venomous snake stores its venom in glands just behind the eye, where it can quickly supply venom to the injection mechanism using hypodermic fangs or finally green teeth, the fangs of rattlesnakes are hinged that rotate downward in a stinging position. just before an attack, so how do the rattlesnakes we've seen do it? so far he scored against dr.

According to Seymour's classification system, one is particularly dangerous to man: it is the notorious Western diamondback because this rattlesnake is now commonly seen in southern cities of the US. It has more opportunities to attack people, which, given his bold and aggressive nature, he often does. Its large hinged fangs penetrate deep into its victim to release its venom and, although not as potent as that of other Rattlers, it can release enough venom to be potentially fatal if a bite is left untreated. The western diamondback is responsible for the most bites and deaths of any reptile in the United States. 12,000 kilometers from Africa, where we discovered a snake whose fangs dwarfed those of any rattlesnake.

Much of central and western Africa is still covered by thick forests. It is here, at the edges of the forests, that we find a snake with a particularly terrible reputation when it comes to death by lethal injection. The Gaboon viper can

real

ly deliver this five-foot solid-bodied but slow-moving snake. A superbly camouflaged ambush predator is so well disguised but almost impossible to see even when you know it's there. Its two-and-a-half-centimetre fangs are the longest of any snake. Inject the largest amount of venom in the snake world. Fortunately, it is not an aggressive species that prefers to retreat rather than attack if approached to poison a human with a snake as a waste of time and energy that a snake injecting valuable venom into a human victim may take less. chances of hunting prey or defending themselves from attack until their toxic supplies are replenished and there are many animals that will attack even the most venomous species of snakes such as the Mongoose and in Mozambique they are faced with a snake that can launch its venom over long distances.

The spitting cobra takes the defensive use of venom to a whole new league. Throws poison with astonishing precision. Muscle contractions squeeze the venom through the fangs and spray it up to 3 meters from the eyes. from any aggressor that causes irritation and blurred vision, but there is another African snake deadlier than the Cobra, the highly troublesome Viper with serrated scales and its subtle characteristic sound. It inhabits a vast natural range that extends from North Africa through the Middle East and into Asia to include areas of massive human population exceeding one billion people in total, giving this aggressive snake many opportunities. to bite Professor Julian White is a doctor who is an expert in diagnosing snake bites.

Approximately 10% of acute hospital beds in Nigeria are occupied by snakebite patients and the overwhelming proportion of those are viper bites Sasuke, their enormous reach and the fact that the victims are often very far from the Proper medical treatment ensures that this is a species at risk of serious bite, so while the Gabon viper has the most formidable set of fangs and is physically more intimidating, it is actually the smallest viper with serrated scales. , which is the biggest threat to people living in its territory, this deadly predator has many opportunities to attack and, unfortunately, it also has an extremely bad character and is often the only one that attacks humans despite its little size.

Impressive set of folding fangs that can inject a lethal dose of moderately toxic venom. Ultimately, it kills thousands of people every year. 7,000 kilometers away in Asia, we find several other contenders for the world's worst poison, while most people try to avoid close contact with poisons. Here are some snakes that are in danger every day. It is sacred among Buddhists and Hindus. The Asian cobra is a self-confident species and will bite if alarmed. The Asian cobra is also a bit of a braggart and its threatening posture has become an iconic symbol. from Asia face to face with these snakes Thai snake charmers maintain a tradition that dates back thousands of years.

If any snake had a chance to bite you on a plate, it would be this one: Only the charmers in this town have been bitten recently, but the Asian cobra is dwarfed by a gigantic relative, the longest of all venomous snakes, the king cobra. At over five meters in length, the king cobra can lift enough of its body off the ground to look a standing human in the face, some have lived. To tell the story, the king cobra bit my limbs nineteen times and I survived. Many people in our group have been bitten by snakes. It's not just me, it's more than ten of us.

I will continue acting until I die. Lots of lovely ones. Those who work with king cobras believe they have a high level of intelligence and reptile artists may only deliver dry warning bytes by injecting minimal venom into the

wild

, mostly saving their enormous venom capacity for their favorite prey, others snakes, however, this part of Asia does have a problem with another more irritable snake, the Russell's viper. The Russell's viper is especially unpleasant in its entirety.range, it not only causes kidney damage and unpleasant bleeding effects, and in some places, particularly, for example, in Sri Lanka, it can cause degrees of paralysis and muscle damage, as in the world this snake. one of the most dangerous in all of Asia prefers the outskirts of cities kills thousands every year why this species bites so many people there are twice a year when the bites of the Russell's viper reach their peak they coincide with the planting and harvesting of In the rice fields, many of the snakes' victims are farmers whose remote rural location prevents them from receiving the immediate medical attention this bite requires.

It can take days before a victim can reach the hospital, long enough for the poison to cause serious damage. Russell's viper attacks at close range. and a single bite can release more than one hundred milligrams of venom. As the poison diffuses into the bloodstream, it disrupts the blood clotting mechanism, causing hemorrhage and eventually devastating kidney damage. Let's consider the worst case scenario. What do you do if it bites you? a venomous snake forget about sucking the venom that's strictly for movies wherever you are in the world a serious venomous snake bite without proper medical attention can lead to permanent injury or even death in most cases you need a Antidote injection This is an antidote created by injecting small amounts of the true venom into a host animal, such as a horse, the immune response that follows produces antibodies against the venom, these are obtained from the animal's blood to make an antidote.

We predominantly use horses because one thing is large and you can get large volumes of blood from them without causing any problems to the horses and the second thing is that there are not a huge number of diseases that can be transmitted from horses to humans, which basically what happens is that you take the poison and inject it. You give a big horse a small amount and over time you increase the amount of poison you give him. Because what it does is his immune system then starts to reduce anyone's, if you think it's gum like it's this antibody that I'm producing and I'm the horse, so it produced a piece of gum, now you have this antibody and what happens is that the poison is a particular form because it will act and lock itself almost like a key in a door and if I can take this antibody and wrap it around, that key will no longer work, so it will float freely in the body, but it won't be like that. capable of attaching themselves to cell fragments and causing death and problems to humans, while antivenoms will neutralize the toxin, they cannot reverse the process of any damage that has already been caused, being monitored in the hospital is often their central , but there is a snake bite where even without an antidote it is possible to survive.

The Malayan cage is one of the few Asian snakes that carries a purely neurotoxic venom. As a nocturnal hunter, it stalks its prey in the dark following scent trails, often entering through an open window or door and the inhabitants sleeping. They may never know they have been bitten, especially since the fangs are very small as the neurotoxin sets in. Only the disturbing paralysis upon awakening indicates a snake bite during the night. The toxin blocks nerve endings that control muscles, including the rib muscles. vital for breathing, but unusually this venom can continue its journey through the body and as long as the victim can continue to breathe through the paralyzing effects, they are likely to survive, while both the Russell's viper and the Malaysian krait present a serious threat to the human population of South Asia.

The cobra that is the greatest danger here is not the powerful king cobra, the largest venomous snake in the world, but its smaller cousin, the common cobra, and again we turn to Jamie Seymour's new classification system. The Asian cobra is most commonly found in the Indian subcontinent, but its habitat extends further into South Asia and it shares its living space with millions of people; confident that it also contributes to inviting up to 15,000 people each year, although its fangs are not the largest, the snake produces a surprisingly large volume of venom, fortunately its venom only scores moderately on our potency scale, however, it is still one of the biggest venomous killers in the world, but there is one country that surpasses all the others combined in terms of venomous snakes, like Australia, its venomous snake species outnumber the non-venomous ones we have. the most venomous snakes there is no doubt that Australia is a big place with vast unpopulated areas the snakes that live here are hardly pressed for space but alarmingly there are seriously venomous species that have adapted perfectly to the urban lifestyle of Australian cities in some eastern areas.

Brown snake populations now thrive on a diet consisting almost exclusively of house mice, perhaps great pest control, but getting caught in the jaws of this mousetrap is surely worse than having a serious rodent problem and they inject much more poison than previously thought. Like many city dwellers, they are easily upset. The Eastern Brown's venom is particularly unusual because it causes blood to clot quickly. However, if it survives, it may die later, but only by traveling to the remote outback regions of Australia. We find the ferocious snake even more venomous and with a sinister name if that snake with that type of venom was present in a highly populated area.

I suspect you'd be dragging people out of the bush left right and center as they die. The ferocious snake is too. Known as the Inner Taipan, it inhabits a harsh and extremely demanding environment. They specialize in hunting native desert mammals and tracking prey requires valuable energy, so failure is not an option when the price rises. You want to make sure you grab it. He wants to make sure. you've injected it and you want to make sure it's going to die, so you give it a very potent venom and you give it a lot, but first by name it doesn't necessarily mean ferocious by nature, this snake with the

deadliest

venom known. because any land animal is almost never seen by a human being.

Hansen lives in underground holes and tunnels and rarely ventures out into the open, but toxins very similar to those found in the ferocious snake can also be found in a snake much closer to home off the coast of Australia. we found a highly venomous sea snake the olive sea snake is sociable and safe with humans and can frequently approach divers and snorkelers after 10 years working with them sea snake expert Glen burns knows how to handle them safely honey look for females on the right This time of year usually attracts any movement, which is why many divers think they are being attacked.

A male will approach from below basically because they don't see very well, they think it's a potential mate and they will do it. come investigate, they need a powerful, fast-acting poison, if you don't disable the fish quickly, it will escape and the food will be lost, but of all the snakes in Australia it is not the sea snake that comes out first nor is it the snake with the most The strongest of all Australian venomous snakes is the eastern brown snake, which is considered the most dangerous to people. It is aggressive and moves quickly. Fortunately, its fangs are relatively small and it rarely manages to cut through heavy clothing.

Historically it was thought that eastern browns produce a small amount of venom, but recent studies suggest this is not the case and their venom has a rare blood clotting quality which, if administered directly into the bloodstream, can kill a human being in minutes. Australia has more than its share of poisonous creatures. and not all of them are snakes, there are hundreds of other species that can sting and bite. This is the Sydney funnel-web spider, as its name suggests, it lives in and around the city but is known to have killed at least 13 people. The only spiders in the world that are truly lethal, before the development of the antivenom there was nothing that medicine could do to ensure the survival even in an adult of a significant portion of the funnel web spider.

Both male and female spiders carry venom that is used to kill their insect prey, but it is the male's additional venom component that is a danger to people; females rarely leave their underground burrows, while males Males often wander around looking for females, it is the males that are the most powerful to humans, part of the reason is that when you look at the males, they come out of their burrows and go to look for food the females stay inside the burrows and stay Staying still, staying hidden helps avoid predators, but when it ventures out into the open, the spider has developed a very powerful toxin that it can use if it is threatened.

Once you leave your home, you are exposed to predators, your Predators can be marsupials and things of that nature, so you have to have this extra component in your venom that you can use to defend yourself. There is another poisonous Australian spider that resides far away. beyond the city limits, reading later and its reputation for lurking in dark, dry places, often right under the nose, the Australian war antidote is used to treat the bite of the red black spider and then all other bites combined, including snake life, is a very common problem with Probably more than a thousand cases receive antivenom each year and this species also travels widely.

They like long-haul luggage and found themselves 7,000 kilometers away, in the port of Osaka, Japan. It arrived at the Asaka docks probably around 1994 and spread rapidly so that by 1996 there were probably hundreds of thousands of redback spiders in Osaka. I found higher concentrations around the dock area than are normally seen even in Australia in their laboratory in northern Australia. Jamie Seymour takes a closer look at the venom of these spiders. and it is the Sydney funnel web that represents the greatest threat to humans according to the five-point scale. During the mating season, funnel web males are attracted to gardens and homes, increasing the likelihood of a human encounter, although they would prefer to avoid confrontation.

It will not shy away from defending itself despite feeding primarily on insects. His fangs are long enough to pierce human skin and release a small amount of highly potent venom in our quest to find the world's worst Dr. Venom. Jamie Seymour and venom enthusiast Jules Sylvester return to the desert in search of the only lethal species of scorpion in the United States, the Arizona bark scorpion, while spiders and snakes deliver their venom through fangs to inject into the bloodstream in which the scorpion uses its stinger. The tail after snakebite and scorpion sting is probably the most important medical cause of poisoning in the world.

We have no idea how many people are affected, but I would suggest it's probably in the billions. Jamie Seymour is back with the Sylvester jewel, this time carrying a UV light. to highlight the natural fluorescence of the Scorpions hard external skeleton, this one is big but not bad, proud of that piece of bark on top, that's a barter scorpion, go 130 brother Kevin, hey, they absolutely gave it to you, There you have a crust. scorpion that just ten years ago they were losing about 800 people in Mexico just for this serious name of the advent of a divinity the next six weeks they improved a lot found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico the bark scorpion does meet with humans quite frequently, but is unlikely to sting unless provoked.

He is small in stature. It has a relatively modest stinger that provides small amounts of balance but makes up for its lack of size. Its venom is relatively potent and before the development of suitable antidotes it was a highly feared killer. It is in Africa that we find two other particularly notorious scorpions: this is the thick-tailed scorpion, powerfully built, it grows up to four inches long, although its sting is designed to immobilize insects, it can have an equally powerful effect on the child, although This species rarely injects enough venom to kill a healthy adult. The distinguishing feature of most scorpion stings is that the toxins they contain have a very different effect on the nervous system than any of the snakes we've seen, sending you into a kind of physiological overdrive.

With heart rate and blood pressure skyrocketing, another African scorpion is a wolf in sheep's clothing, the Deathstalker more than makes up for its small size and unimpressive-looking stinger by having drop for drop more toxic venom than any other species of scorpion.scorpion. Jamie Seymour's scale highlights why He is such a lethal opportunity to attack is high. He is the cause of many stings throughout the Middle East and North Africa, where he lurks for aggression. He also figures prominently. They can be very volatile. They have a very effective stinger that easily penetrates human skin. Scorpions restrict tiny size.

They deliver quantities of precious venom with each sting, which is fortunate because the Deathstalker has extremely potent venom that can cause heart and respiratory failure if injected into a person's bloodstream for our final group of venomous creatures. We return to Australia, but this time we are underwater. everything Jamie Seymour needs for this category is right around the corner. Australian waters contain many species of dangerous marine stingers and biters, but sometimes it is not the venom that produces the fatal injury and was present on a particularly fateful day when Steve Owen was stung by a stingray that was on board and had been for a couple of days with Steve and what seems to happen as Steve swam over the back of the stingray from the animals point of view is a large shape passing over it and the water normally means large predator, it wasn't the stingrays venom what really killed their victory, was the puncture wound to the spine of the rays, it is not unusual to see whole sharks and other large sharks, these holes or these wounds open around the middle of the shark or across of the gills, think that this is really a sharp knife, so if it embeds itself in your chest and ends up unfortunately in something like your heart, it is not the poison that does the damage to humans, it is more the physical damage of these big thorns there are.

Other sea creatures here that are lethal to humans, this is the blue ringed octopus and this is the dr. Mark Norman, is an octopus expert at Museum Victoria. These octopuses are equipped with a really good warning system and use bright blue rings to flash like police lights to say: I'm really deadly and if you get too close I'll bite you with the poison. It carries a highly specialized protein called tetrodotoxin that has evolved to paralyze prey such as crabs quickly. Venom is supplied to the sharp, parrot-like beak from large poison glands deep in the octopus's body, immobilizing its prey and having an equally disastrous effect. effect on the human body in situations where people have died from the bites of these octopuses, they have been handling them and they have bitten them with this very powerful saliva that enters their bloodstream and within three minutes they are paralyzed and die of asphyxiation.

In one case in the 1950s two divers had one and they threw them at each other on the beach and the more they threw the octopus the brighter the blue rings became and then the guy put the octopus on his shoulder and said : "I'll take him upstairs." the parking lot and as he walked through the car the pockets bit him directly in the jugular and he was dead within two minutes they were still on the list of the

deadliest

poisonous creatures in Australia is the harmless looking box jellyfish with each tentacle is armed millions In Small, spring-loaded stinging capsules inject venom into the blood vessels just beneath the skin, where it travels quickly through the bloodstream and eventually to the heart and, unfortunately, inhabits coastal waters such as those frequented by swimmers.

Jamie Seymour has been on the wrong side of the tracks. Box Jelly's tentacles more than once and I must tell you that it hurts, it's an almost surreal pain, but it reaches its maximum level almost instantly and stays at that level for about ten to fifteen, maybe twenty minutes, and then it just turns off to protect to the box swimmers. special for jellyfish The nets on the most popular beaches keep them well separated. You see these Stinger nets everywhere and they do a wonderful job. We have never had a fatal or near-fatal bite inside the nets.

You swim off the grid. It's not a It doesn't matter if they stun you when they stun you and it really plays with your life, but the nets that do a good job of keeping the deadly jellyfish away are no barrier against another member of the jellyfish family, one of the killers. smallest in the world. The ocean along the coasts and reefs from Australia to Southeast Asia is the tiny Irukandji jellyfish. We started to receive some type of jellyfish sting from inside the nets. They weren't big box jellyfish stings, that was clearly different. They showed clearly different symptoms.

They were often no larger than a pea. no normal stinger mesh can keep out the little jellyfish Hira kanji when our duck became extinct. It stung me on the upper part of the lip, but unlike the box jellyfish, the Irukandji's venom remains in the victim's tissues, this is what gives the sting a delayed reaction. I see more suspicions that it is only when the Toxins reached the lymph nodes of the body that painful effects appear. I had severe stomach cramps, tingling in my lower joints and legs like you wouldn't believe and now we are getting huge amounts. of painkillers and was much less dangerous to people, but fatal to fish is another strange marine killer, the cone shell, while most of Venom's lethal impacts rely on just a few key proteins, that of the cone snail contains hundreds of toxic compounds among them.

They are nerve-blocking chemicals that can induce instant convulsions and a strong sedative that prevents prey from fighting, but like most snails this one operates at a fairly calm pace, only needing to feed once a week and its venom Super strong ensures that when hunting down the prey, it almost always kills, however, scientists have discovered a way to use this poison as a super strong pain reliever. Now these animals are cone snails, I mean, they're basically little chemicals. It has already been a pain reliever that has been extracted from the bear and who knows what else may be in there.

Scientists are now beginning to explore the possibilities of using its natural properties to treat serious diseases of the human body. As research into the venom's medicinal potential continues, it remains a formidable weapon in the natural world. Ocean The deadliest of all poisonous creatures is the box jellyfish. It lives in the waters surrounding many popular beaches where nets are deployed to keep bathers safe. It is not an aggressive creature and will not deliberately attack a human, but it is not likely to come out either. Of the way, when fully developed, it has over one hundred and twenty meters of tentacles armed with millions of small stinging capsules, making it highly effective at injecting its balance.

The amount administered depends on how severe the contact is with its highly armed tentacles and worsens the The venom it releases may well be the fastest acting and, drop by drop, one of the deadliest known against people. In severe cases, death can occur in just two minutes before any chance of medical help. Of all the creatures we've seen in action, from the rattlesnakes of the United States to the venomous spiders of eastern Australia, octopuses and jellyfish, which is responsible for the greatest number of human deaths according to Dr. Seymour's classification system. We can focus on three final contenders for the reptile world title: the feisty saw.

The scaly viper that narrowly surpasses the common Asian cobra and Russell's viper as the world's most dangerous snake among spiders and scorpions, it is the Deathstalker that tops the lethal list and, of the marine contenders, it is the jellyfish ghostly, there are surprisingly many creatures with extremely toxic poison. Measured Drop by Drop are not among our finalists simply because they do not have the opportunity to encounter humans often enough to rank among the most dangerous to people, but there is one poison merchant who narrowly defeats everyone else in the danger it poses. poses according to our key criteria the most dangerous venomous creature on earth it lacks a great horrible reputation, in fact, few of us will have heard of it until now the gravy-scaled viper will be flying around North Africa, Asia and the Middle East and throughout that area there are a Many billions of people inhabit that area and probably 60 70 80 100 thousand people are bitten of those twenty thousand people die each year.

Its lethal credentials include a very potent venom, but what really sends death rates through the roof is a unique combination. This snake's aggression and proximity to people make quick and efficient medical treatment crucial for survival. This is not the reason why this animal has such lethal venom that people are bitten and die instantly, but mainly because They can't get medical help fast enough or We don't have anyone good. Reducing the human mortality rate from venomous bites and stings means ensuring that more people in at-risk areas can receive quick and effective treatment, and there is another crucial factor in determining the toxicity of any poison among the creatures we have encountered.

It has already been seen that there are extremely variable reactions to its bites and stings take the Sydney funnel net potentially fatal to humans its venom has almost no effect on the local dog and cat population this venom appears to be especially toxic to monkeys and humans but harmless to felines and canines, however, when it comes to the bite of the North Queensland tarantula, it is the other way around: humans suffer localized pain, while cats and dogs usually die and, surprisingly , it's a specific reaction to venom that turns one species into an unlikely mass killer: the humble bee.

While many of us would shudder at the prospect of poisonous snakes and scorpions in our backyard, it is actually bee stings that kill more people in the Western world than any other species, not the direct effects of the venom, but because people go through so their fertility anaphylactic shock, in other words, they are allergic to these bees. The poison stuff happens like the muscles around your neck swell and you stop breathing and that's what makes such a significant difference in reaction to villains that it has also inspired Jamie Seymour to plan another element for this rating system.

Venom has laboratory-based experiments designed to discover exactly how severely each of the world's most toxic poisons actually attacks human cells. The reason for this is simple. What they have done routinely is test on mice or rats, which works well if you want. I know how lethal they are against rats and mice, but so far it doesn't tell you anything about how lethal they are in human cells, dr. Seymour has started experiments with human heart cells, not with people of course, but with cell cultures specially grown for this purpose, so these containers here are the key to everything we are doing, basically, we have been able to grow cells human.

We have about 10,000 cells in each little one. We can add poison from any type of animal we want. Once that's done, we can add dye to it and that dye will turn red as the cells die, which is why more and more people are dying. The red of the material we can become is the result. The venom already proving invaluable from the controversial Sydney funnel-web spider has been confirmed as highly toxic, exceeding the drop-for-drop potency of the deadliest scorpions tested among reptiles. The most toxic venom tested belonged to the Taipan outback, killing more than 60% of the heart cells in the Fortunately, for the first 10 minutes this snake stays away from human contact in the Australian outback, but the most surprising result is the extraordinary toxicity of the jellyfish venom that began killing human heart cells practically on contact and destroyed one hundred percent of all cells within 10 minutes.

Jamie Seymour has long suspected that box jelly poison is extremely potent and fast-acting in humans and fish. He now has the first clinical trial as his groundbreaking research into the effects of venom on human cells is just beginning. Scientists are already exploring. The venom's potential to cure arthritis, heart disease and cancer, so these toxins may not always be bad news for humans who know that we could one day turn our lives into some of the most dangerous venomous creatures in the world. .
