Ophiophagous snakes already carry antibodies against the venoms they prey on. We draw their plasma, spin it, and purify the antibodies. No 18-month immunization. No horses.

Why it works
01
Already immune
The snake has coexisted with its venomous prey for evolutionary time. Antibodies are present in plasma on day one. No 12-month immunization cycle.
02
Benchtop scale
Five milliliters of blood instead of six liters. Standard lab centrifuge instead of industrial hardware. Production can live near the patient.
03
Survives the trip
Room-temperature stable. No cold chain to fail in rural distribution. The supply can actually reach the clinic.
