Etymology
The concept of antivenom dates back to the late 19th century when researchers began to develop techniques for extracting venom from snakes and other venomous creatures. The first successful use of antivenom in a snakebite case was reported in the late 1800s, marking a significant advancement in medical treatment for envenomation. Since then, antivenom production has evolved, with different techniques and technologies being used to create effective treatments for a variety of venomous bites and stings.
