What part of venom actually hurts?

Other than the actual bite/sting, which is physical penetrating trauma, what’s the sting from a scorpionfish or bite from a snake hurt for sometimes hours after the event?

Most venoms cause either cell death or nerve trauma, which is what causes the pain. The more the venom spreads, the more damage it causes, the more it hurst. Even the venoms that kill very quickly will still hurt the whole time you’re dying. 😬
