A small dose of the actual venom you're wanting to create an antidote for - is injected into a large animal (usually a horse or cow). The amount injected is not sufficient to cause the animal harm, but enough to trigger the immune system. The animal produces antibodies to fight the invading venom. After a time, a quantity of blood is extracted, and the antibodies separated from the rest of the blood.
The antibodies are then 'diluted' to make a larger, but weaker quantity, and this forms the dose of anti-venin. When a bite-victim is injected with anti-venin - their body produces antibodies (just like the horse or cow in the original step) which fight against the invading toxins.

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.
