Number 10, The Rattlesnake. This is the only snake from the Americas that makes part of the list. The rattlesnake is identifiable by the rattle at the end of its tail. Rattlesnakes fall under the Pit Viper family, and they can strike up to a range of 2/3rd their length. The most common venomous species in North America is the Eastern Diamondback. Baby rattlesnakes are considered more poisonous snakes than adults because of their inability to regulate the amount of venom injected. Rattlesnake venom is hemotoxic, that is it destroys body tissue, organs and causes coagulopathy (disruption in blood clotting). A rattlesnake bite will cause drooling, paralysis, difficulty breathing, scarring, hemorrhaging and possibly fatality. Untreated rattlesnake bites often lead to death. Antivenin can reduce the death rate to below 4% if applied on time.
Number 9, the Death Adder. This befitting named snake is found in parts of New Guinea and Australia. Death Adders hunt down and kill other snakes normally via ambush. They look similar to the viper family with their triangular shaped heads and squat bodies. A typical bite will contain between 40 and 100mg of venom, and if untreated making it one of the worlds deadliest bites. Death Adder is neurotoxin and may cause paralysis and death within 6 hours. Antivenin is useful in treating Death Adder bites, but before its development the fatality rate from a bite stood at 50%. Death Adders have the quickest strike in the world, the snake can strike and return to striking position less than a 0.1 of a second.
Number 8, Vipers. Vipers are common throughout the world, but the most poisonous snakes of them is the Chain Viper and the Saw Scaled Viper found in China, India, Central Asia, Middle East and in Southeast Asia. Vipers are short-tempered and very aggressive. They are nocturnal and very fast, normally appearing after the rains. A viper bite will result in excruciating pain at the point of bite followed by swelling. Common symptoms will include, bleeding gums, a drop in blood pressure and heart rate. The affected limb will suffer blistering and in certain cases facial swelling and vomiting. The swollen area may suffer discoloration as plasma and red cells leak into the muscles. Death from cardiac or respiratory failure may occur within 14 days of the bite.
Number 7, The Philippine Cobra. Although most Cobra species don’t make the list, the Philippine Cobra is an exception. Its venom is by far the deadliest among the Cobra species, and it’s capable of spitting lengths of 3 meters. The venom is neurotoxin and affects respiratory and cardiac function. A bite can cause respiratory paralysis, neurotoxicity and even death within half an hour. Symptoms will include; nausea, headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, dizziness, convulsions, collapse and diarrhea.
Number 6, Tiger Snake. The Tiger is found in outback Australia and its neurotoxin venom is very potent. Death from a single bite can be as rapid as 30 minutes, but normally takes between 6 and 24 hours. Before antivenin was developed, fatality rates stood at 70%. Symptoms from a Tiger snake bite will include; pain in the foot, neck, numbness, tingling and sweating. This will be coupled by paralysis and difficulty breathing. Tiger snakes normally flee when encountered, but if cornered they will strike with maximum precision.
