Venom extraction

Venom extraction involves carefully collecting venom from creatures like snakes or insects for research, medical use, or safety purposes. The process typically uses specialized equipment to stimulate the creature to produce venom without harming it. For example, in snakes, a small electrical current or gentle pressure causes them to release venom into a collection container. The collected venom is then purified and analyzed for various applications, such as developing medicines or antivenoms. This procedure is performed by trained professionals to ensure safety for both the animal and the handler.
