What Happens If You Fall Into a Pool Filled Snake Venom?
Did you know that a single snake bite can kill an adult elephant in just a few hours? And if you’re not careful, snake venom can kill you in only 15 minutes. But that’s from a venomous bite. What if the venom was already collected and you took a swim in a pool full of the stuff?
What would swimming in venom be like? How would snake venom affect your body? And could this actually be good for you?

There is a huge Variety of different snake venom. Some will act like a bee sting and just have some swelling, others you could die in 15 minutes. An the effects on your body also verys a lot like blood clots, to the shut down of reproductive organs.

What if the Earth, Moon and Sun were the only things that existed in the entirely of outer space? How influential are all the stars, comets, meteors, asteroids, nebulae and other planets (as well as the radiation from all of these things) upon the Earth and life here?

I find it ridiculous when people freak out when I tell them I have a pet snake. I mean, constrictors can't be venomous and ball pythons are small, (males 2-3 ft, females 4-5 ft) also I treat him with the utmost care and did a lot of research beforehand.

There's that stage in Mortal Kombat II. I think it's called a pool of acid. The graphic depiction here looks like the liquid of that stage. It would make sense though if you died since every Mortal Kombat move led to the opponent's receiving a set of open wounds lol
