American Worker Helped Invent Super Antidote for All Types of Snakes (3 photos)
Tim Friede, an American auto mechanic, was often bitten by various snakes at work, and once he survived an attack by two cobras at once and almost died. And then he realized that he had to do something about it.
He was very friendly towards snakes, to such an extent that he began to collect them, and with benefit. He collected them not only out of idle curiosity, but also in order to create a perfect immunity for himself. The man began to expose himself to the bites of various snakes in very measured doses, but on purpose, and when they were not nearby, he injected himself with poison.
In just 18 years, he has been bitten more than 200 times and injected himself more than 700 times. As a result, he is now immune to all known snake venoms, and his blood is a universal antidote that will save you from any bite from any snake. Scientists are wildly delighted with his blood, even as they grumble about the inhumanity of his methods.
“We didn’t advise Frida to do this, and no one else should have to do this again,” says Jacob Glanville, chief executive of the biomedical company Centivax in South San Francisco, California.
This is a real revolution in medicine, because snake venom kills more than 140 thousand people worldwide every year. Modern antidotes are obtained by injecting snake venom into horses and other animals, and then collecting the resulting antibodies. Each antidote protects against the venom of a maximum of several species of snakes. Tim Fried solved the problem once and for all.
