This article discusses snake bites. For the 1st time since the Victorian era scientists have figured out a new way to manufacture anti-venom. The piece is a bit lengthy, but interesting.
The point is due to new techniques & understandings, they have moved the treatment of snake bites forward after nearly 150 years. Knowledge, novel approach & newer technology combined may have forever altered how snake bites are handled. Stem cells & 3-D printers could replace milking snakes & processing venom into anti-venom. This could save a people, time & resources.
Snake bites have nothing to do with HIV. However, it does show, after a century something new may develop to push a treatment forward in a previously unheard of manner. This is why all research is pertinent. A similar process is being applied to the treatment of cancer. Who knows what's next?
