Haemotoxic

/hɛmɒˈtɒksɪk/ adjective

Definition

Poisonous or toxic to blood cells; describing substances that damage or destroy red blood cells or other blood components.

Etymology

From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'toxikon' (poison), + -ic (adjectival suffix). The term describes substances whose toxic action specifically targets blood.

Kelly Says

Some snake venoms and plant toxins are haemotoxic—they destroy red blood cells, causing the victim's blood to literally break down. This is why certain poisons cause such different symptoms than nerve toxins like cobra venom.
