Everyone knows that snake bites can be deadly, but exactly what happens when snake venom comes into contact with human blood? This video shows a Russell viper being milked by a snake handler who then collects the venom in a glass jar. One drop of the potent yellow venom is then extracted and mixed with a vial of human blood. Within thirty seconds, the blood has turned into a solid block of jelly, demonstrating the venom's phenomenal blood-clotting abilities.
