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

Receiving antivenom after a snake bite would be an example of passive immunity, where antibodies are transferred from another source (in this case, the antivenom) to provide immediate protection against the venom.

Who invented snake anti venom?

What is antivenom made of?
I found this on everything2.com and it is something I have heard before. Also known as antivenene or antivenom, antivenin is an antitoxin produced in the blood by repeated injections of venom. Antivenin for venomous creatures is produced by gradually injecting livestock (usually horses) with the venom of a particular species. The animal gradually produces antibodies to the venom, and its blood plasma is harvested and refined to produce antivenin suitable for use in humans and other animals. This is the only proven method of treating venomous snake bites, and the venom of many other poisonous creatures. The production of antivenin in this way requires constant supplies of venom.
How deadly is the death adder?
If you are referring to snakes of the genus Acanthophis, before antivenom was introduced, 50% of death adder bites were fatal.

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.
Receiving antivenom after a snake bite would be an example of which classification of immunity?
Receiving antivenom after a snake bite would be an example of passive immunity, where antibodies are transferred from another source (in this case, the antivenom) to provide immediate protection against the venom.
