The venom of some coral snakes contains neurotoxins, substances that interfere with nerve signals to muscles. In severe cases, this can paralyze the muscles used for breathing and become life-threatening. Saying that all coral snakes have “one of the deadliest” venoms is too broad: toxicity varies among species, and the risk to people also depends on the amount of venom and medical care.
