Black Tiger Snakes

Black Tiger Snakes have a lethal dosage of venom and appear ominous. Yay? No, especially considering that one can die in just half an hour from a bite, although fatalities usually occur between six and 24 hours. It is astonishing why the antivenom is not covered by any health insurance – symptoms of a bite include numbness, sweating, and tingling. While the majority of Tiger Snakes are afraid of humans, they will turn aggressive and strike if provoked.

Inland Taipan

The Inland Taipan comes out on top each time in terms of the deadliest venom that snakes can even possess. As if that’s a reason to celebrate, perhaps if health insurance coverage was available, perhaps. With a mixture of taipoxin and neurotoxin, a bite can lead to blood hemorrhaging, limited breathing, paralysis, and intense muscle damage. The Inland Taipan, located primarily in inland Australia, is often shy, reclusive, and almost always flees instead of attacking. If it chooses to attack, however, death can occur within only 30 to 45 minutes, unless you are almost immediately treated.
