Antivenin Production
Antivenin production involves creating a medicine that neutralizes snake venom to treat bites. First, animals like horses are injected with small, safe amounts of venom, prompting their immune systems to produce antibodies. After several doses, blood is drawn from these animals, and the antibodies are purified and processed into a concentrated form called antivenin or antivenom. This concentrated serum can be administered to snakebite victims to quickly counteract the venom's effects. The entire process is carefully controlled to ensure safety and effectiveness, providing a vital treatment for snakebite emergencies.
