For about 18 years, a self-taught truck mechanic named Tim Friede in the United States let cobras, mambas, taipans and rattlesnakes bite him 202 times, and injected himself with their venom 856 times. Once he took two cobra bites within an hour and slipped into a coma. Most experts called him reckless. Then in 2025, scientists took a sample of his blood, isolated the antibodies, and produced something the world has never had: a single antivenom that works against 19 of the planet’s deadliest snakes.
