I misclicked on the venom one because my phone froze :pleading_face:. That said, it is a bit of an odd question. Because neurotoxin also can effect the heart given it works to stop the heart because of the paralytic effects. Maybe it should be rephrased to say “What venom effects the circulatory/cardiovascular system?” And not include the heart in it. Or just “what venom effects the blood?” Because if neurotoxin can stop the heart, you could argue it effects the circulatory system in some way. Here is a summary on what hemotoxin does:


So it technically effects more than just the circulatory system.
