Abstract:In recent years, extensive research has delved into the pathophysiology of local reactions triggered by Bothrops snake venoms. Even though antivenom works well at reducing death and systemic effects, it is still not very effective in treating local reactions because the venom works so quickly, and antivenom cannot fix injuries that have already been triggered. This might be attributed to certain molecules amplifying the venom-induced innate response. While evidence suggests endogenous mediators at the venom si… Show more
