Basically, they take venom from snakes and inject tiny quantities into horses or sheep, which makes the animal immune. They take small amounts of the horse's blood, remove the blood cells, and inject the rest in order to counter the snake venom.

How do you make anti-venom?

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.

How do you get posion out of a snake?

IF you mean how do you remove the venom from a snake - you CAN'T ! The venom is manufactured in the snake's body, and stored in venom sacs. The venom usually begins the digestion process and the snake NEEDS it. Removing the venom sacs (and fangs) of venomous snakes is equivalent to a surgeon removing your teeth and stomach !
