Either one might help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol. its hemotoxic i think

OpenStudy (lacypennelll):

Yea, I think it is too. The venom of the cottonmouth is hemotoxic. This means that the venom breaks down and destroys blood cells and other tissues and reduces the ability of blood to coagulate or clot. Therefore, this results in a hemorrhage throughout any portion of the circulatory system that is penetrated by poison.
