Coral snakes are members of the Elapidae family, and 40 to 50 species exist in the Americas. In the United States (US), 3 types predominate: Micrurus fulvius (eastern coral snake, located in Florida and the southeast US) and Micrurus tener (Texas coral snake, located in Texas and Northwestern Mexico), and Micruroides euryxanthus (Sonoran coral snake, located in the Southeastern US and the state of Sonora, Mexico) inhabit the US. Coral snakes in North America (north of Mexico City) are recognized by their circumferential bands (noncircumferential shape is found on the nonvenomous shovel-nosed snake) of red, yellow, and black. This activity reviews coral snake toxicity and its presentation and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management.
