What Would Happen If We Drank Snake Venom

What will happen if you drink snake venom? Ever wondered?

Nothing will happen if you drink snake venom, because snake venom is a kind of protein, if it enters the stomach, it will become protease and peptone due to proteolytic enzymes and become the last amino acid!

But if there is a wound in the mouth, esophagus or stomach, then "GAME OVER"


Snake venom is a protein-based toxin which gets digested with the help of stomach acids and digestive enzymes if swallowed.


The snakes can inject or inoculate venom into our bodies by using their modified teeth which are called fangs. The venom is secreted by the oral glands of the snakes. There are nearly 3,500 species of snakes around the world. Out of them, only 25 per cent are poisonous and King Cobra is believed to be one of the deadliest snakes in the world.


When venomous snakes sink their fangs into the body of a human or animal, they inject a complex mixture of toxic proteins, enzymes and other molecular substances into our bloodstream. It disables you by breaking down your cellular mobility which often leads to paralysis, internal bleeding and death. This phenomenon is known to many and has been seen numerous times. But will the outcome be the same if snake venom is consumed as a drink? Several Netizens raised this query on Quora–a public interactive platform. After reading all the answers, it can be speculated the person will not die immediately after consuming the snake venom. Let us take a look at some of the answers and what experts believe.

One of the most ruthless executions in history

One of the most ruthless executions in history  was invented and implemented in the 16th century, by the Mughal Empire, and although the Mughal Empire was responsible for creating this execution, the British, were responsible for popularizing it. It was known as  “Gun blowing” . Picture: Wikipedia The victim, was tied to the end of a cannon, the lower part of the back, was just leaning against the lip. But of course, they did not load the cannon immediately, they left the victim tied up for hours,  or in some cases even days, to the point where they began to beg for their death. When the weapon was finally fired, according to records, the head was raised in the air about 15 meters, the arms were flying to the right and left, very high in the air. The remains could be found at least,  a hundred meters away ; the legs (which were just below the barrel) fell to the ground under the muzzle of the weapon; and the body literally exploded almost entirely. But of course, sad...

What actually happened to a person who was revived/survived death sentence

Here is a question before us If a person is revived/survived after the death sentence, is he free, imprisoned or sentenced to death again? There’s actually been a case like that. In 1893, a convicted murderer named Will Purvis was hung, but survived. A lot of people thought he was innocent, and he steadfastly proclaimed his innocence. A group of churchgoers who were part of the crowd were praying that he might be delivered right up to the moment that the lever opening the trap door through which Purvis would drop was pulled. The noose didn’t hold and Purvis survived. At this point the entire crowd believed this was a sign from God that Purvis was innocent, but the judge and the lawyers agreed that the sentence was “hung by the neck  until dead .” Though Purvis had fulfilled the first requirement, he hadn’t managed the second. The sheriff was ordered to rehang the prisoner immediately. But, being a God-fearing man himself (to say nothing of being a politician dependent on the votes ...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
