We investigated the hemotoxic effects of three North American pit vipers in healthy human donor blood. Using experiments focusing on platelet and red blood cell activity, we found differential effects of these venoms on these cellular components. Platelet aggregation was most induced by C. adamanteus. Platelet activation was highest with C. atrox. Red blood cells had calcium expression and erythrocyte formation most induced by C. adamanteus and A. piscivorus. These results demonstrate the complex interplay of individual cellular effects with clinical presentations seen in envenomings from these species.
