Yes - the venom of most species can be used to treat various blood disorders in humans.

How much Venom required for 1 of antivenom?

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.


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.

How is antivenom made?

Hi my name is Brett. I do not know if all antivenom is made this way. But apparently for snake antivenom it is. First they will milk the snake for its venom then inject small dosages of the venom into a horse or goat. The Horse will build up antibodies to the venom until it is almost immune to it. The antibodies are then extracted from the blood of the horse and purified into a serum. This is just a broad description of what the process is. For a more detailed description try this website. http://ask.yahoo.com/20000803.html
