I’ve always been curious to what exactly this means. I may be overthinking it but like what does this refer to? Does this mean that they have can inject venom up to X amount of people before they die or run out?

Every chemical has a lethal dose, the minimum amount needed to kill a particular organism. If an organism ingests less than this amount, chances are that they will live.
So when we measure the volume of venom injected per bite, and compare this to the venom’s lethal dose, simple math tells us how many people this particular volume of venom could kill if the venom were to be split up evenly into lethal doses and admimistered one dose per person.
