There are several types of snake venoms, that are usually categorized into two main types.
One of them is neurotoxic venom and that is the venom of most Elapids, like Coral Snakes, Kraits, Cobras and Mambas.
Neurotoxic venom actually stops the impulse form your nerves system, colocation it’s called.
And what it does is, it stops the transmission and the victim usually dies from reparatory failure.
Because the victim’s diaphragm can no longer expand and contract...
... to enable breathing and the victim dies of suffocation.
One of the treatments for a Mamba bite, is placing the person in a respirator, also called an iron lung.
The respirator equalizes the pressure and allows the diaphragm to expand and contract, so the person can breath.
