“Scientist injects himself with snake venom”
A scientist injected himself with poisonous venom over 850 times to create an ‘unparalleled’ anti-venom in his blood.
Tim Friede let dangerous snakes bite him over 200 times in 18 years, even falling into a coma after two cobra bites.
His mission was to develop immunity to snake bites so scientists could create a vaccine to everybody.
Tim regularly exposed himself to poison so deadly it would kill a horse, but it all seems to have paid off.
Researchers have used his blood to develop a revolutionary treatment for snake bites.
Tim is overjoyed by his contribution to critical health research, saying: ‘I’m doing something good for humanity and that was very important to me.
