What is "venom"?
Venom is a specialized secretion produced by certain animals, such as snakes, spiders, and scorpions, that is injected into their prey or enemies through a bite or sting. It typically contains a mixture of toxic substances that can cause severe pain, paralysis, tissue damage, or even death. Venom is used by these animals as a defensive mechanism or to immobilize and subdue their prey, aiding in feeding or self-defense. The composition and potency of venom vary across different species, each tailored to their specific hunting or defense strategies.
