← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when antivenom is administered inappropriately?
A)Anaphylaxis prevents venom neutralization✓
B)Autoimmunity enhances venom breakdown
C)Venom binds erythrocytes harmlessly
D)Enzyme inhibition slows toxin clearance
💡 Explanation
Anaphylaxis results if antivenom triggers an immune overreaction because IgE antibodies rapidly degranulate mast cells, elevating histamine; therefore, systemic inflammation disrupts venom neutralization rather than inducing immunity in other ways.
