Meet Tim Friede, a former truck mechanic from Wisconsin with a remarkable mission. ⁣ ⁣ For 18 years, he self-injected venom from deadly snakes like cobras, mambas, and rattlesnakes. He took more than 850 doses in a determined quest to build immunity and help others.⁣ ⁣ Now his extreme self-experimentation has paid off. ⁣ ⁣ Scientists have used antibodies from his blood to develop one of the most broadly protective antivenoms ever created. ⁣ ⁣ It could be a game changer for treating snake bites worldwide.⁣ ⁣ As biotech CEO Jacob Glanville put it, “If anyone on Earth has the antibodies we need... it’s him.”⁣ ⁣ #human #antivenom #venom #snakebite #medicalinnovation #timfriede #science #hero #antivenombreakthrough #reallifeironman
