anti-venom therapies

Anti-venom therapies are medical treatments designed to counteract the effects of venom from snakes, spiders, and other venomous creatures. They are produced by immunizing animals, usually horses or goats, with small amounts of venom, prompting their immune systems to create antibodies. These antibodies are then harvested and purified to create the anti-venom. When administered to a person who has been bitten or stung, the anti-venom binds to the venom's toxins, neutralizing them and preventing further harm. Prompt treatment with anti-venom can be life-saving in cases of serious envenomation.
