What Are the Uses of Snake Venom? A Comprehensive Analysis of Its Main Application Value
1. What Are the Properties of Snake Venom? Snake venom is a toxic protein and polypeptide substance containing various enzymes secreted by venomous snakes, and it is also the substance that causes poisoning reactions after a venomous snake bite. Fresh snake venom is a somewhat fishy-smelling, egg-white-like viscous liquid, appearing yellow, pale yellow, green, or even colorless. When fresh, it shows a neutral or weakly acidic reaction, and after standing for a while it can become alkaline. Its water content is 50%-75%, and its specific gravity is between 1.030 and 1.080. Fresh venom easily forms foam when exposed to air, and at room temperature it is prone to spoilage and deterioration after 24 hours, losing its toxicity.
