A man's blood is used to create antidotes to 19 deadly snakes

The secret to this discovery lies in the blood of a man named Tim Friede, who has built an extraordinary immunity by knowingly being bitten by 16 different kinds of deadly snakes, according to Fox News report, the transmission Periscope.

Over the 18 years, Friede has received hundreds of bites as part of a self-imunification process with increased doses of poison.

As a result, it has become <x0hyper-immune” to deadly snake neurotoxins so powerful that it can kill a horse.

We have seen a rare opportunity to study Tim's blood and isolate the basis for a universal antidote”, said Jacob Glanville, director of the San Francisco-based biotechnology company Centinvax.

Friede gave two blood samples, of which researchers isolated antibodies that responded to the poisons of 19 of the world's deadliest snakes, including the royal cobra, black mamba, and coral snakes.

By combining these antibodies with another molecule, they created a new antidote, which in rat tests proved to protect against the poisons of various snakes.

The purpose is to create an antidote with extensive use, similar to a ʹ Epiphene, which can easily be used in remote areas without the need for injections.

I know I'm helping people maybe eight thousand miles away, and that makes me feel really good. All I've done over the years has not been in vain,” says Friede.

For more than a century, the antidote has been produced by injecting poisons on horses or sheep and then collecting antibodies that form.

But this approach often causes negative reactions and has limited efficiency, since antidotes are usually adapted to individual species and certain regions.

According to the World Health Organization, each year some 5.4 million people are bitten by snakes, and 2.7 million are poisoned, with fatal consequences or permanent injuries.
