Antivenoms

Antivenoms are specialized medicines designed to treat venomous bites or stings, such as those from snakes, spiders, or scorpions. They are created by collecting venom from the creature, then injecting small, controlled amounts into animals like horses or sheep, prompting them to produce antibodies. These antibodies are then purified to produce the antivenom. When administered to a person bitten or stung, the antivenom neutralizes the harmful toxins, reducing symptoms and preventing severe complications. Proper use of antivenom is crucial and should be administered promptly under medical supervision.
