The Fangs of Despised Love

That was supposed to be a serious pun on one of the lines of the ever-popular Hamlet Soliloquy:

"The pangs of despised love,"

I want to make it straightforward - these so-called "pangs" are actually caused by "fangs." It works this way:
  1. Well a guy may occasionally run onto a snake and in that unforgettable encounter the snake may bite the guy and inject a good dose of venom.
  2. The traumatizing experience is usually known as "awestruck by beauty" and the venom is usually called "infatuation."
  3. The guy will die if he does not get a share of an anti-venom which is usually extracted from the culpable snake itself.
  4. Although there's a fair stock of anti-venom in hospitals and clinics, the guy will still run after the snake in the hope of catching it.
  5. In the end, some other guy would have caught the snake and should have been enjoying the anti-venom for himself.
And when all the other victims see this they all fall to their knees, disaster-stricken, in grim despair - which may lead to a potentially fatal physiological reaction due to their very condition.

Fangs, ftw... It's as if I'm running after my favorite snake, the Inland Taipan, with its venom running in my very veins.
