Best Answer

Antivenom is created by injecting a small amount of the targeted venom into an animal such as a Horse, Sheep, Goat, or Rabbit; the subject animal will undergo an Immune_responseto the venom, producing Antibodyagainst the venom's active molecule which can then be harvested from the animal's blood and used to treat Envenomation.

Small doses of snake venom is injected into a large animal - usually a horse. This causes the horse's blood to form anti-bodies to the toxins. Some of the horse's blood is then collected (think like a blood transfusion) - and the antibodies are separated out in a laboratory.

Why does it take so long to make antivenom to cure snakebite?

Because it has to circulate your blood stream fully to wipe it out. In order to work, the antivenom must contact the venom. Antivenom is usually administered via IV infusion and diffuses into the tissues slowly, whereas venom will diffuse into the tissues rapidly. It may take many hours for the antivenom to diffuse into the tissues and neutralize the venom there, depending on the nature of the antivenom product used. It should be able to neutralize the venom that may be circulating in the vascular compartment and prevent systemic manifestations of envenomation.
