Inb4 BIG SNEK starts their propaganda campaign against this
Hold up. I thought there are different kinds of snake venom that cause separate types of chemical reactions. How can a universal antidote be made when the venoms target different stuff in a victim’s body?
I did a quick read of the article, and it uses antibodies that target the venom rather than directly protecting the bodys cells.
“This antibody works against one of the major toxins found across numerous snake species that contribute to tens of thousands of deaths every year,” says senior author Joseph Jardine, PhD, assistant professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research
The idea is that the antibody allows you immune system to attack the venom and destroy it before it does too much damage.
