venom extraction techniques

Venom extraction techniques involve safely obtaining venom from snakes, spiders, or other venomous creatures for research or medical purposes. Common methods include milking, where the animal is held securely, and a small container is placed to catch the venom as it bites or is stimulated to release it. Some advanced techniques might involve electric stimulation. The extracted venom can then be analyzed for components that may lead to treatments for various diseases or be used in antivenom production. Safety is a priority, ensuring both the extractor and the animal are protected during the process.
