How long until you die when the komodo dragon licks you?
Komodos do not kill their victims with venom, they kill through sepsis (blood infection). The saliva can harbor up to 50 types of bacteria, and the act of licking can cover and spread these deadly bacteria. Even if treatment was provided shortly after the bite, the bite might still be fatal due to the fast acting poison. It only takes 30 minutes to die from the bite of a Komodo dragon, and only has a 10% survival rate.
