You wouldn't want venom for something already bitten so I think you mean antivenom and I think it is now synthetic. However they used to have to inject very minute and dilluted amounts of venom into horses (or other such mammals) over the course of up to several years and then they would draw the horses blood, spin it and use the plasma as the antivenom. However, as I said it thin kit is all synthetic now.
