Next murder mystery…. Someone was injected with a concentration of this substance.
Wait a minute, isn’t that what the venom of some snakes or spiders does? Causes the blood to coagulate?
yes hemotoxic venom, is found in many snakes, like rattlesnakes. it basically clots your body. there are some that cause your body to hypercoagulate, overwhelms or exhausts your clotting factors, so you bleed to death.
Pretty much. It destroys the cell walls containing the blood platelets and basically causes a blood volcano in your body.
Its kind of the idea behind the vials used on the vampires in the first blade movie.
