The animals that have the key to the success of the antivenom process. and they are these horses. what's the link between horses and antivenom? because as you can see, horses, they behave well. you know, they are large animals. so they can produce lots of blood. and then you can purify the antibodies that make the antivenom from the horse blood. the process is a slow but very controlled one. over a period of six months, a horse is injected with a small but increasing amount of snake, scorpion or spider venom that allows the horse to build venom neutralizing antibodies in its blood, which means...

Amount of snake, scorpion or spider venom that allows the horse to build venom neutralizing antibodies in its blood, which means they become immune to that particular venom. these antibodies are then extracted by dr alagon�*s cowboys—turned—scientists, which they then use to create life—saving serum. the blood will be collected in a bag, and then it will be hung so that the cells, the blood cells, deposit in the bottom. and the plasma that contains the antibodies from which antivenoms are made remains on the top. how much antivenom do these horses actually produce? well, it will produc...
