Q. Reason of death of a patient of cobra-bite is

BHUBHU 2007

Solution:

There are two categories of snake venoms, neurotoxic and haemotoxic (vipers).
The poisons of cobras, kraits and sea snakes are neurotoxic, causes death by paralysis of respiratory muscles and asphyxiation.
Haemotoxins cause tissue destruction and widespread haemorrhage.
