Claim: Iberiotoxin, an ion channel toxin purified from the Eastern Indian red snake Buthus tamulus which is commonly known in India as a factor of children's death, causes transient cholinergic stimulation (vomiting, profuse sweating, bradycardia, priapism, hypersalivation, and hypotension) which is followed by sustained adrenergic hyperactivity (hypertension, tachycardia, and myocardial failure)
Evidence: Iberiotoxin (IbTX) is an ion channel toxin purified from the Eastern Indian red scorpion Buthus tamulus. Scorpions are predatory arachnids of the order Scorpiones.
