Man bitten by snakes over 200 times helps researchers develop potential universal antivenom.
Tim Friede, a man who allowed himself to be bitten by snakes over 200 times, may have contributed to the development of a universal antivenom.
Researchers found that antibodies from his blood can protect against various snake venoms, potentially leading to a single antivenom effective against a wide range of venomous snakes.
Currently, most antivenoms are effective against only a few snake species, while up to 138,000 people die annually from snakebites, and 400,000 suffer amputations or disabilities.
