The Expensive and Dangerous Process of Making Anti-Venom

Producing anti-venom is a complex and dangerous process involving the extraction of venom from snakes and the use of horses to develop antibodies. Anti-venom is not always widely accessible, leading to thousands of snakebite deaths each year. Scientists are exploring alternative methods to reduce costs and increase accessibility, including developing antibodies in a laboratory without the need for horses.
