In this case, a patient is envenomated by his friend’s exotic pet snake. The patient rapidly develops signs of neurotoxicity, including blurred vision, ptosis, and difficulty swallowing. He ultimately develops respiratory arrest and bradycardia. In this chapter, we review some of the toxins that can cause progressive neurologic symptoms including botulinum toxin, neurotoxic snakes in the US, and some of the exotic snakes that can cause neurologic effects.
