What Happens When a Venomous Snake Bites Itself?

The video explores why snakes are generally immune to their own venom, despite its harmful effects on other animals. It discusses various mechanisms snakes use to protect themselves, such as molecular changes and natural inhibitors. Some snakes have evolved to produce antitoxins, while others modify their receptors to repel toxins. The video also highlights the potential of these natural inhibitors in developing better anti-venoms. However, not all snakes are immune, as demonstrated by cases where snakes have died from self-inflicted bites.
