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.”⁣
