Ep. 154 Venom Pt 1: Bites and Stings and Ouchie Things

<p>Hi Everyone! Welcome to the first episode of our series on venom! We previously discussed toxic stuff, and venoms are a specific subset of toxic things that are introduced to the body by bite or injection rather than getting swallowed or inhaled or whatever. In this first episode we give a breakdown of the different kinds of venom, and in the following two episodes we'll talk about specific venomous animals!</p> <p>References:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32751897/"><u>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32751897/</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10080348/"><u>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10080348/</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4060629/"><u>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4060629/</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.timsreptiles.co.za/uncategorized/venom-types-and-there-effects-on-humans"><u>https://www.timsreptiles.co.za/uncategorized/venom-types-and-there-effects-on-humans</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430756/"><u>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430756/</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6832493/"><u>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6832493/</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0008581"><u>https://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0008581</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0041008X17303654"><u>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0041008X17303654</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5484289/"><u>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5484289/</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590171020300308"><u>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590171020300308</u></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.unco.edu/nhs/biology/about-us/mackessy-stephen/documents/2008-BoR-Mackessy-Rattlesna
