A broad-based anti-venom? Cool! 🐍

Getting bit 200 times to help develop it? 😱

A science podcast that can work in reference to “The Princess Bride?” Inconceivable! 🤣

However, a team of researchers from University of Sydney has discovered cheap, readily available blood-thinning medications can be repurposed as antidotes for these venoms.

PhD Candidate Tian Du explains how they conducted the groundbreaking work and what it could mean for venoms closer to home; this is 60 Seconds of Science. youtu.be/ARJR-N77sls
