How One Man Could Save Millions

Meet Tim Friede, a former truck mechanic from Wisconsin with a remarkable mission.

For 18 years, he self-injected venom from deadly snakes like cobras, mambas, and rattlesnakes. He took more than 850 doses in a determined quest to build immunity and help others.

Now his extreme self-experimentation has paid off.

Scientists have used antibodies from his blood to develop one of the most broadly protective antivenoms ever created. It could be a game changer for treating snake bites worldwide.

As biotech CEO Jacob Glanville put it, “If anyone on Earth has the antibodies we need... it’s him.”
