wrong snake, your thinking boomslang, and yes thats accurate, also a bit delayed, symptoms dont usually start till hours after teh bite....
mamba is neurotoxic, stops your diaphragm from working, heart quits working....big issue with mambas is there venom takes 10-15mg to kill an adult, however when they bite they tend to inject 100-120mg.....before antivenin was developed it was pretty well unheard off for someone to live more than an hour from a black mamba bite.....even now with antivenin being made its a beotch getting someone to it quick enough to do any good...
the other three mambas are less toxic but only slightly so, not that it matters cause they to tend to inject several times what it actually takes to kill you.....
