how can tiny amounts of venom be so lethal?

It seems dreadfully counterintuitive that bites from a tiny creature such as a recluse or black widow spider can have disastrous, even lethal consequences for far larger creatures, like humans. How is this possible, given the seemingly insignificant volumes of venom in question?

Muscle relaxers come in tiny pills, but a few extra pills can relax the most important muscles like the heart or lungs. Also, some venom can make blood clot.
