The venom, which is neurotoxic and usually fatal, runs down a groove in the fang. The bite causes drowsiness and neurological and neuromuscular symptoms, leading to paralysis and heart and lung failure. Death is by asphixiation. It affects acetylcholine receptors in both the peripheral (sympathetic) and central nervous system. In the CNS, ACh affects arousal. In the PNS it affect muscle fibers.
Meet the homeopathic Mamba
The Mamba feels injured and alone, and he feels it's his duty to fight for others in the same situation. So, the Mamba is quite sad and sentimenatal and because of this he will extend his sympathy - but he can also become censorious, dictatorial and cruel.

It's no use protesting, you'll just make it so much worse for yourself.
Run for it ...

DELUSIONS - insulted, he is - looked down upon

Crot-h toxins:
-Neurotoxin: Phospholipase (PLA2), which is a melittin compound, which releases arachidonic acid from cell membranes causing pain and inflammation.
-Myotoxins such as crotamine, which paralyse and cause necrosis of muscles.
-Fibrinogen clotting enzymes; where coagulation is disrupted causing bleeding from wounds, the GI tract and lungs.
-Bradykinins, which cause blood vessels to dilate, reducing blood pressure. It also increases vascular permeability. Both effects result in inflammation and pain.
Crot-c, like most snake remedies, can be angry, destructive, competetive, cruel and suspicious.
