 The research could help prevent people dying |
New research by a Bangor university student has found that the diet of poisonous snakes affects its venom strength.
Axel Barlow's discovery means that anti-venom can be developed specific to a certain snake's location or diet.
His studies into saw-scaled vipers, which have evolved to eat scorpions, found that they also had venom which was more lethal to scorpions.
Researchers hope the information will lead to fewer snake bite deaths.
