No, when the venom is injected directly into the blood stream it has a direct route to all the major organs and can begin the work of destroying them in a matter of seconds. Even a single drop of venom of many snakes could cause death in a matter of minutes.

Can a snake lose all its venom?
A snake may, at times, inject all the venom in its venom sacs. It will take a number of weeks to produce more venom to replenish the supply. During this time the snake has no protection and is unable to obtain food. Rattlesnakes may inject all their venom if they are highly agitated or frightened.
What is it called when a snake bites you but doesn't inject any venom?
It is called a 'dry bite.' Many times rattlesnakes, especially older and 'better educated' will not inject venom but, instead, give a warning bite. Snakes do not want to waste venom on something they cannot eat and will only inject it if they feel a life and death threat. The snake needs the venom to catch food and does not waste it on nonfood animals.
What is anti snake venom serum?

What is the coral snake's venom yield?
A bite from a coral snake injecting 3-5mg of venom, is usually fatal. Compare that to the Mojave rattle snake which would have to inject three times that amount. The actual yield from 'milking' a Coral snake would be higher - and would depend on the size of the venom glands in each individual snake.
Why does a mongoose die if bitten by a poisonous snake but can kill and eat the same snake and live?
When the mongoose eats and kills the snake, it knows to stay away from it's head, (Where the venom sack's are), and eat the rest of the body where none of the venom is. If the mongoose is bitten by the snake though, the snake will inject the venom through it's fangs, from the venom sacks, thus killing the mongoose.

How does poison enter the body of person who is bitten by a snake?
Snakes aren't poisonous, but venomous. The difference is venom is only deadly when it gets into your blood stream, which is exactly what snakes try to do. Their fangs are tubular, so they can inject venom into your bloodstream through their teeth.
Your answer to question is venom from a baby rattlesnake more poisonous than that of a mature rattlesnake absolutely makes no sense what so ever please check your answer again?
The venom of a baby rattlesnake is the same as from an adult snake. However, an adult snake can control the amount of venom they inject and may not inject any venom during a bite (dry bite). They need the venom to obtain food and do not want to waist it to warn off a threat. When baby rattlesnakes bite they have not yet learned to control the flow of venom and will probably inject their entire supply and cause a more severe bite to the victim than an adult snake would.
What do you call snake teeth?
