ELI5: you have a shower, toilet, faucet, etc. at home transfered through pipes. It all works fine. Then one day winter kicks in and everything gets frozen. You turn on the shower but no water comes out cause the pipes are frozen.

Blood is liquid that’s transfered through your veins. Constantly flowing. When venom hits, it coagulates the blood essentially causing a blockage, so then the blood can’t flow through the veins anymore. Here’s a vid.
