"Snakebites and other envenomations cause many deaths in Africa and other parts of the world. I believe it’s very important to find solutions that can help reduce these deaths. The main treatment is something called antivenom. To make it, scientists inject small amounts of venom into animals, usually horses. The animals then produce antibodies that can fight the venom. Later, some of their blood is taken, and those antibodies are turned into medicine that works well for people. Of course, collecting venom from live snakes or other animals is very dangerous. It takes people who are brave, passionate, and truly love these amazing creatures."
