As sea snake venoms are neurotoxins, the typical symptoms of sea snake bites begin within three hours and include: Painful muscles Paralysis (inability to move) legs Joint aches (arthralgias) Blurry vision "Thick tongue" with difficulty swallowing or speaking Excessive saliva production Vomiting Droopy eye lids (ptosis) Click to expand...
