Key points
Anaphylaxis to snake venoms is rare and mainly seen in snake handlers.
Snake venom phospholipase, hyaluronidase, and dipeptidyl peptidase IV
share only 18-35% of their sequence with their counterparts in insect
venom.
To date, no case of clinically relevant cross-reactivity has been
described.References
