This does clear some things up as far as knowing what you are saying. And yes, venom is venom, but I'd rather be bit by a brachy rather than a KB. And you are true that nothing good can come from bites, of course, but that doesn't mean one species venom isn't more potent than another. I have read the bite reports for many species. Would you compare an H. lividum bite to that of a G. rosea? Because I would much rather get bit by a G. rosea than an H. lividum. Granted, I don't want to be bit at all.Okay, I see where people are having the issue. I'm not saying that ALL venom is the same. I'm just saying venom IS venom. You really don't want to mess with any of it. Nothing good can come from any bite, regardless of toxicity.
But, in this case, I do feel that KBs lack anything substantial to their venom to be any more harmful than a Brachy. It won't make you miss work the next day could be a basic statement I can make.
Maybe this clears things up some?
