Do HOT keepers generally milk them?

I am not interested in keeping hots but out of morbid curiosity I have been reading about them a lot tonight. What I am wondering is, if hot keepers expect to take a bite now and again(accidents happen right?), what do you do for antivenin typically? I know that in North America there is sort of a fix-all one for native hots except corals, but what if you keep non-natives? Does anyone milk their own hots to sell to people that make antivenin?

Is there anyone crazy/brave (pick your own version) enough around here to try and build a tolerance like Bill Haast? I think if I kept hots I would be a lunatic like him, trying to make myself immune to every hot I kept :P Although I would instead of taking 1/100th of how much it takes to kill you to start I would start with 1/1000th, because I'm a weaksauce hahaha.

I figured this forum needed something interesting and controversial to talk about besides something that has been beaten to death 20 times over yet continues to come up.
