Definition
A poisonous substance that specifically damages or destroys blood cells, found in some venoms and toxins.
Etymology
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'toxikon' (poison). The -in suffix indicates a chemical substance, allowing precise naming of toxins that target blood.
Kelly Says
Snake venoms are fascinating because different snakes have evolved different toxins—some are haemotoxic (attacking blood), some are neurotoxic (attacking nerves), and some are even anticoagulant, preventing your blood from clotting while you're bitten.
