🐍💉 Tim Friede spent nearly 20 years gradually immunizing himself against #venom from over a dozen deadly #snakes, including #cobras and black #mambas.

Scientists used #antibodies from his blood to create an experimental #antivenom that protected #mice from 13 types of snake venom. The work could lead to a single broad-spectrum antivenom.
