False water cobra?

Pat -

Different venoms have different effects - neurotoxic, hemotoxic, cytotoxic, etc.

Allergic reactions to a venom are separate from the specific reactions from the components of the venom.

If you and I get the same bite from a FWC, we may have mild swelling and pain from the venom. If I'm allergic, then perhaps I have wheezing, itchy hives and maybe even worse symptoms.

That has nothing to do with the venom being more potent to me as opposed to you. It just means I have an allergy to a component in it.

So doesnt said allergy, make this venom more potent TO YOU?...in fact it does.

I get it what your saying.

In my opinion no. The actual clinical strength of the venom remains the same. But again, I now get what you were saying. My argument is that the potency or strength is the same - your bother is just more sensitive to it than you are.

If you developed a sensitivity or an allergy to FWC venom due to years of being exposed to envenomations, it doesn't mean that the venom produced by your animals suddenly became stronger - it just means that your body has developed an allergy or sensitivity to it.
