      Yeah its crazy right you watch videos trying to learn about how dangerous snakes are and most of the lists always top with the inland taipan, a snake that has caused either 0 or one death hotly debated based on a death in the 1930's. I saw a video of Steve Erwin lying down with the Taipan about 3 inches from his face just slithering looking for a route to get back to hunting mice.

      From the studies I have seen a few years ago... there were only a handful of bites known to be from the Inland Taipan. One was even a bite to the trunk. None proved fatal and there was no specific antivenin made for such bites at the time. Either they must have a high.percentage of dry bites or the cellular cardio-toxicity doesn't necessarily translate to human mortality/morbidly...in the real world! The other aspect with the vast majority of Australian snakebites is the efficacy of pressure bandaging for bites on the limbs in connection with the preponderance of neuro-toxins among the continents venomous snakes. Lastly, from the most reliable reports out of Australia... the Eastern Brown seems to be responsible for more snake bite fatalities than all others combined... which is attributable to not only the numbers of the snakes in populated areas, but also the potency of the venom factors including Textilotoxin, which I believe is it pre-synaptic neurotoxin.. For further information on the venom...see: Toxicon article on the venom of the Australian Eastern Brown snake published in 2015!

    They did not explain why the blood clotting venom of the Eastern Brown can kill you by hemorrhage after so I thought, as a nurse, I would offer some insight. Your blood requires several clotting factors in order to form a blood clot and stop bleeding. By forcing your body to use all of your clotting factors creating internal blood clots, this venom can actually make the human body run out of clotting factors. In this case, even a tiny cut or even a spontaneous bleed can kill you because you simply cannot stop bleeding. In the medical field, we call this disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

      Cottonmouths have a medically significant bite. Copperheads not so much. I have never seen a patient die from a copperhead. I have seen three bites from coral snakes (all from "professional " snake handlers.) As you would expect since they are closely related to cobra type snakes and have a neurotoxin as a venom, supporting airway breathing and cardio vascular is important. A doctor who has been dead from old age for 15 years, told me when I was working in rural Arizona, that they used to put patients on a ventilator and cardiac monitor and wait for symptoms to pass. I would guess this was between 1950 and 1970 that he was talking. Most rattlesnake bites that aren't dry bites are very clinically significant. Fasciatomies of whole limbs and amputations are not rare. Worse, rattle snake venom in areas frequently changes from hepatoxic to neurotoxic to cytotoxic

Only one person has died since 1971 from a cottonmouth and only one person has died from a coral snake bite since the late 1960s. Both victims who were bitten the cottonmouth and coral snake that died did not seek medical treatment.

My ex girlfriend was an er nurse at Loma Linda back when I was a medic. They had multiple bites they reported but that never made the list. Yes cro fab is used, but Wyeth is also used. Along the Texas Mexico border I know of cases treated with an antivenon from Costa Rica that's readily available in Mexico. Of course since it is not fda approved, I am sure I never saw it used in us. On several occasions we had bite victims get the 4 vials or so of antivenon from the closest er and then go south to get tx in Mexico. The health care there sucks and you have to pay in advance, but they always had tons of the Costa Rica antivenon and also the bark scorpion antivenon. Strangely, the death rate in Mexico was horrendous in Mexico, compared to USA for the scorpion stings.

    This new approach to recognizing venom efficiency is very interesting. but to the list of the most dangerous venomous animals should include jararacussu and common lancehead in my opinion. not necessarily on the list of the top but at least a mention. also one might be considered worth mentioning is Blue Malayan coral snake it is rare but it's venom is very fast acting and there is no antivenom, same thing with golden lancehead. Also if mentioning western diamondback rattlesnake one should also mention the eastern one which has longer fangs and pore potent venom.

      I agree, the Fer-De-Lance aka Barba Amarilla, Terciopelo (Bothrops sp.) should've been covered since it's responsible for the most snakebite deaths in Central & South America.
      The Bushmaster (Lachesis muta) as well, being the largest pit viper and there are very venomous rattlesnakes (Crotalus sp.) In Central & South America as well such as the Neotropical rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus) which has a wide distribution.
      Eastern diamondbacks (Crotalus adamanteus) are a personal favorite, and may not have been mentioned since they're way more rare and have a relatively small geographical distribution compared to Western diamondbacks (Crotalus atrox).
      The Malaysian blue striped coral snake (Calliophis bivirgatus) is a fascinating snake, and has the longest venom glands and very potent venom since they hunt other venomous snakes like the King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah)
      Since the Blue coral snake's venom travels sodium ion channels like pain signals, it has interesting potential as a superior pain medicine.
      I will be first in line to try it, I promise you that 😃👍 since I don't metabolize many pain meds very well so they don't do much for my chronic pain. Ughh I feel like the tin man in the Wizard Of Oz when I first get up, now that it's getting cooler.
      Snakes and venom in general are a whole new frontier in the medical field & I can't wait to see what meds are developed from venoms.

      Exactly, there is just so much more to this subject and this didn’t cover a lot. An important thing to add is that some people could be allergic to certain venoms, and the allergic reaction can kill faster than the venom itself. Like you said, 50 minutes is not enough, it doesn’t do this justice.

      The narrator clearly said children and the elderly are the most vulnerable of being severely wounded or death. I think it is common sense if someone with latent AIDS will die if stung or bitten, or likewise anybody else with a medium to life threatening conditions will also suffer the same fate as the later. This is a general documentary for the public, not for medical school.

    While what the doctor says about the toxicity of the Sydney funnel-web spider is the main point, I think he's mistaken in saying it's the only spider deadly to humans. The Brazilian wandering spider has also killed humans and might even compete with the funnel-web for toxicity and aggression.

      Of course the Brazilian Wandering Spider is far worse than the Sydney Funnel Web Spider because the word "Wandering" is in the name of the former. As a result; the Brazilian Wandering Spider is particularly deadly because they aren't confined to one area. The Sydney Funnel Web Spider is aptly named due to being found in and around the city of Sydney, Australia.

      @greghh2223 2 года назад

      @@michaellovely6601 But there are other Funnel Webs besides the Sydney variety. And in any case, it's not a question of availability. The rarer one might be more deadly. So the question, to avoid this confusion, should be, supposing identical twins are bitten at the same time and in the same body-part, one by the wandering spider, the other by the funnel web, which twin is in more danger?

    • @greghh2223
      @greghh2223 2 года назад

      I should add one more point to avoid further confusion: the funnel web is said to always envenomate its victim, while the wandering spider often withholds its venom. So let's also suppose that both twins are fully envenomated.

    • @jamesthe-doctor8981

      I'll play devil's advocate here and say that the reason it's not mentioned here is because the boomslang is arboreal, classified as a tree snake. Since this video is about venoms that are dangerous to humans, and because this new "rating system" takes "exposure to humans" who rarely live in trees into account, I'd say all of that, put together, is why they didn't include the boomslang.

      guardians animal rescue/ state certified 501c3 there is a program on the National Geographic channel titled Snake City which has filmed six complete seasons. It’s about a man and woman in Durban, South Africa who remove and relocate venomous snakes and various other reptiles from residences back to the wild, and they have found and removed a few boomslangs during every season so far. The South African Vaccine Producers manufacture a monovalent antivenom for Boomslang bites that is very effective, but as with several African colubrid and elapid species, time is of the essence - if one doesn’t make it to a facility which stocks the antivenom in time, one may not live to tell about it. However, since boomslang venom is a hemotoxin, they are more likely to only lose a finger or part of a limb.

    I always thought that the mambas - black and green - were extremely dangerous. I heard of a snakekeeper who was feeding a mamba and felt it brush against his hand. Turns out he was envenomated. He was able to seek help quickly because he was in his lab at the time. But it was something like 15' 'till he felt himself convulsing slightly. I think the mambas should have been covered here.

    • @Eskimo_iio
      @Eskimo_iio 3 года назад +10

      From my understanding, the Taipan is the most venomous but not the most dangerous. Mambas are more dangerous because they are highly aggressive. That's what some of the documentaries were saying.

    • @thecajunphoenix
      @thecajunphoenix 2 года назад +4

      Agreed. Mambas don't even have to go on the attack to envenomate a person.
      They are very dangerous, and a park ranger in Krueger Park was bitten and envenomated by a black mamba and he slowly walked to his vehicle to try to slow down the venom coursing through his bloodstream. He was also puking (one of the symptoms of envenomation from a mamba) out the side of his vehicle as he drove to get medical help, so he's lucky to have survived being envenomated as well.
      Dry bites also happen when a venomous snake delivers a puncture wound without injecting its venom and are more common.
      Dry bites are not a guarantee nor do they make you immune to the effects of venom, snake and otherwise.

    • @romandawydiak4476
      @romandawydiak4476 2 года назад +2

      Agreed! There are four types of Mambas with the Black Mamba (called "Black" as the inside of its mouth is black but its outer skin is usually gray) being the most lethal. This reptile can also be very aggressive when feeling threatened, is arguably the fastest moving snake on our planet, always envenomates when biting its victim with a huge amount of extremely toxic venom which if left untreated in a very short period of time would result in almost certain death. And finally, while this extremely dangerous elapid is only native to Africa, the ever increasing urbanisation in Africa (such as the large city of Durban in South Africa) has encroached on the Mamba's natural habitat whereby a conflict now exists where there had been almost none before.

    One time I was out walking in the woods and I started up this ravine and came upon these huge rock slabs so thinking there might be some arrow heads I stuck my hand under this big rock feeling around. I did this about three different rocks. The wind was blowing real hard so finally I stood up to give my back a rest and when I turned around on 3 big rocks there was about 4 rattle snakes. Because of the wind I couldn't hear the rattling. I leaped up on the rock because they were all around me. When I stopped screaming I got ahold of myself then looking carefully where I was jumping I took a big leap and got the hell out of there and I never went back. Had I gone up when it was cooler and the sun wasn't shining I most certainly would have been bitten. I will never forget that as long as I live
