Has there be much research about the volume of venom snakes carry. Has anyone determined the "full load" of various hots. I have a southern copperhead and its LD50 is 25.6 mg/kg. Doing the math would require 1792 mg of its venom to kill me. What's the volume of an average bite? and then what's its full capacity?



This may be an inconsequential question. Sorry.



Regards,

Dimitri
