Re: bee venom vs. snake venom
There would be a big difference between venoms, depending on whether it
was rattlesnake or cobra.  One (viper) is a cardiac poison that causes
lots of localized swelling.  Cobra venom is a neurotoxin that has a much
more widespread effect---and is much nastier.  Anyone know which families
of toxins are in bee venom?
