It is unique in many ways, but most importantly in how it operates within the human body when it enters after the initial snake bite. When a Malayan Krait bites, its venom enters the bloodstream of the victim. After entering the bloodstream of a victim, the venom of the snake coagulates the blood of the victim and then the neurotoxins take effect.
