antivenom production facilities

Antivenom production facilities are specialized laboratories where venomous snakes, spiders, or scorpions are safely kept and milked for their venom. This venom is then injected in small, controlled doses into animals such as horses or sheep to stimulate an immune response. Over time, these animals produce antibodies against the venom. The blood is collected, and the antibodies are purified to create antivenom serum. This serum can be used as a treatment to neutralize venom in poisoned victims. Strict safety protocols and quality control ensure the antivenom is safe and effective for patient use.
