Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

Botulinum Neurotoxins: History, Mechanism, and Applications. A Narrative Review. [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), produced by Clostridium botulinum, bind irreversibly to presynaptic cholinergic nerve terminals and exploit a zinc‐dependent mechanism to cleave SNARE proteins, blocking acetylcholine release and causing flaccid paralysis.
