Woodrats have also evolved resistance to snake venom, being that they are the natural prey of rattlesnakes. They can survive 500 to 1,000 times the amount that would kill a regular lab mouse.

Researchers have published the first example of a synthetic sugar detection test for snake venom, offering a new route to rapid diagnosis and better antivenoms.

A man who has been injecting himself with snake venom for the past 18 years has now been used to create the most broadly effective snake antivenom to date.

This snake statue is one of eight that loomed in a Geneva Park during May's World Health Assembly — drawing attention to the new initiative to fight snakebite.

Researchers at The University of Warwick have published the first example of a synthetic sugar detection test for snake venom, offering a new route to rapid diagnosis and better antivenoms.

When the immune system is exposed to the toxins in snake venom, it develops antibodies that can neutralize the poison. If it's a small amount of venom the body can react before it's overwhelmed.

Friede has withstood snakebites and injections for nearly two decades and still has a refrigerator full of venom.

Researchers may have found the key to creating the ultimate snake antivenom, and all it took was someone getting bitten 200 times.

The paper’s authors sought to make an antivenom that would protect against a wide range of the world’s 600-plus venomous snake species.
