snake antivenom production
Snake antivenom production involves collecting venom from snakes and injecting small, safe doses into horses or other animals, prompting their immune systems to produce antibodies. After several injections, blood is drawn from these animals, and the antibodies are purified to create the antivenom. This specialized serum can then be used to treat snakebite victims by neutralizing venom toxins. The process ensures the antivenom is specific to the venom of particular snake species and is carefully produced to ensure safety and efficacy for human use.
