[QUOTE="MSA, post: 217862, member: 193"] Mojaves, eastern diamondbacks, western diamondbacks, and prairies all have very different venom. especially mojaves, they have a very neurotixic venom like cobras n coral snakes. A vaccine is used to build the bodies imunities against infections, viruses. And most vaccines dont work against mutated/different versions of a virus. So i have a hard time believing they developed a vaccine that covers such a broad range of venoms for 20 bucks. Especially when you concider the research n work that goes into antivenin, and the insane costs of a single vial of it. Also consider how risky antivenom can be, sometimes its more dangerous than the venom itself. Its easy to skew data on this since snake bites are so variable. to many factors affect a bite situation, how much venom, locale, specie, bite area, bite depth, tissue type, etc...most bites need little to no treatment so its easy to say the shot worked. Im just an armchair, and maybe they devoloped thd real deal for 20 bucks, im just saying do the reasearch first. Id be suspect that the vaccine is more dangerous than the risk of a bite. [/QUOTE]
