New Universal Antivenom Could Soon Be Available: Study
Snakebites are a significant public health concern worldwide, particularly in regions with limited access to medical resources. Every year, millions of people suffer from snake envenomation, leading to thousands of deaths and severe disabilities. While antivenom therapy exists as the primary treatment for snakebites, current antivenoms face numerous challenges, including limited effectiveness against diverse snake species and adverse reactions. However, a recent study offers hope for a breakthrough in snakebite treatment with the development of a new universal antivenom.
