Most snake venom is only capable of killing people slowly, and there is usually enough time to find the right antivenom in an emergency. But there is one species that completely ruined that expectation.
If you have to prey on predators, you must become the deadliest of them all!
The blue coral snake is native to Southeast Asia whose venom can activate all of the victim’s nerves at once. This leads to paralysis, full-body spasms, and a really painful and quick death.
To date, there is no antivenom for this deadly blue coral snake bite.
What’s also interesting about this snake is that it actually specializes in preying on other snakes like the king cobra. Maybe this is why they are equipped with such a fast-acting super-lethal venom, because they hunt dangerous venomous animals themselves.
