How much Venom required for 1 of antivenom?

Answer 1

The amount of venom required to produce one unit of antivenom can vary significantly depending on the type of snake and the specific production process. Generally, it takes several milligrams to grams of venom from the snake species in question to immunize animals (like horses) for antivenom production. The exact quantity is determined by factors such as the potency of the venom and the immunological response of the animal used for producing the antivenom. Each antivenom product may have different requirements based on these factors.
