– How does anti venom work?
In: Biology
I counter acts the venom. My understanding based on recent experiences, Venom causes the blood to coagulate. Your body responds to fight the coagulation and your blood can get too thin. You are balancing between bleeding out and stroking out.
The antivenin helps fight the venom and balance the coagulation. It’s scary and hard to predict what will happen and how much antivenin will be needed, if any.
My daughter was bit by a rattlesnake 2 weeks ago. Still making our way through recovery.
