Going the insect-based allergic shock would certainly be a nice twist and would be more diagnosible than a colubrid envenomation. If the authoress is insisting on going the colubrid route, diagnosis could be done if some clever lab developed an ELISA based venom detection kit like the ones we use here in Australia for the medically important elapid immunotypes.
