Scientist let deadly snakes bite him 200 times to create ‘unparalleled’ anti-venom

Tim Friede, a scientist, has injected himself with snake venom over 850 times, including more than 200 bites from dangerous snakes, to develop a groundbreaking immunity and aid in creating a universal antivenom. His unique antibodies, resulting from nearly two decades of venom exposure, have shown remarkable efficacy in protecting against a variety of snake bites, leading researchers to formulate a treatment cocktail that has proven effective in animal tests. This innovative approach aims to significantly reduce the annual toll of snakebite fatalities and disabilities, potentially revolutionizing antivenom therapies worldwide.
