Re: Help!!! Urgent!!!

Don't feel like an idiot...it's a common misconception. HOwever, animals that are equipped with venom have generally evolved to be immune to their own venom. If a king cobra bites itself, it will be fine too...as it is resistant and immune to its venom, and also to the venom of others of its species. Otherwise I think the species would not survive for very long, as they have to eat prey they've bitten and injected their venom into, and what if there was a tiny wound in the mouth or digestive system?
