This entirely depends on what kind of snake it is.

There are different types of toxins: hemotoxins (blood toxins), neurotoxins (cause neurological damage), and many more.

Include the type of snake and I will respond</P>

The Rattlesnake venom is highly Hemotoxic. The venom travels through the bloodstream, destroying tissue and causing swelling, internal bleeding and intense pain. Some subspecies also contain a neurotoxic component in their venom that may cause paralysis. Rattlesnake bites are rarely fatal to adult humans. If an anti-venom treatment is given within the first 1-2 hours, the probability of recovery is nearly 99%.
