New hope seen for snake bite victims
Van Philpot a Mississippi pathologist and Rune Stjernholm Tulane biochemist report isolating a clear protein in pit viper blood that may neutralize venom and enable a universal treatment for viper bites. They note current horse-derived antitoxin can cause allergic reactions and cannot treat moccasin bites, so this discovery could save thousands annually.
