That was not what I was expecting to happen... urgh. I did not know it was a coagulant.

Well fortunately I wasn't planning on letting any snakes bite me before I saw this.

Oh my god...that's...how does the body fight that?!??!

^ Through a process of necrosis!

>> ^Yogi:

By running away before you get bitten.

Quicker than instant Jelly!

You've got to get a good friend to suck that venom out!>> ^Yogi:

Stupid blood!

Was anyone else amused by the flicking of the syringe?

Can't have an air bubble in this experiment. Might muck it up big time.

Damn, nature. Etc. etc.

Holy shit balls!

No NO! Fuck this...every snake that has this ability must now be culled from this planet. I will not stand for this!

Last time I was in Thailand, you could get a shot of whiskey mixed with snakes blood and if you were really insane they'd add a drop of venom to it. Apparently the alcohol does something sciencey to the venom.

My take on this was to spend my entire time there drunk on the off chance I got bitten.

Am I the only one curious where the blood came from?

Upvote for a video that was originally in English overdubbed with...what is this? Romanian?

Oh man, and I just saw two rattle snakes a couple of days ago. Thank goodness I was in a car! I don't know if I can live here anymore. Bears, mountain lions, bobcats, tarantulas, all sorts of fucking snakes, black widows, sharks, scorpions, coyotes... man it's a fucking jungle out there and I think I am going to be sick.

actually the difference between venom and poison is the fact that it has to be injected directly into your bloodstream to take effect. assuming you don't have any cuts in your mouth, you can (but probably shouldn't) drink it.

I thought he was going to shoot it up someone and was like oh noes!

Cool as it is, the title of this video is an over statement. Not all snake venoms does that. My understanding of the subject is that by example hemotoxin produced by vipers destroys red blood cells which prevents blood clotting.

You're half right: not all venoms are coagulants. You're also right that vipers have hemotoxic venom.

But vipers and their hemotoxic venom are exactly the ones that often have this coagulant effect. Venom can be hemotoxic and still be either coagulant or anticoagulant. Neither is necessarily implied.

There's lots of non-venomous snakes that have anticoagulants, too. The bites aren't especially bad or painful, they just bleed like hell.

Except any blood that comes out is good blood and hasn't coagulated yet. Oops!>> ^KnivesOut:

So.. not wine then.

Sift of the Week!

The other sort of venom is neurotoxin which typically causes paralysis eventually stopping your heart.

Neither is particularly preferable, but hemotoxin will typically be a slower death than neurotoxin.

Fun...

Nice try Snakey, but I'm O+, and NOTHING beats a positive attitude!
