Getting bit by a venomous snake in Australia and you’re blood starts to disassemble itself. The only counter is antivenom or die. Your blood breaking down is what kills you. And there is no way to separate the bite from that.
Being able to counter the venom in such a simple way is what makes it different. You can logically break it down into steps that are separable.
Correct.
For the hemotoxin, you aren’t going to “just wait for the effects to wear off.” The toxin will kill you.
For the neurotoxin, you can just wait out the effects by countering the symptoms. Can’t breathe? Respirator can save your life.
The hemotoxin itself is doing terrible damage, but the neurotoxin itself doesn’t do any “damage” other than disabling systems.
