80-Year-Old Vintage Snake Venom Can Still Kill
Abstract:On the morning of 28 July, 1950, Kevin Budden walked up to a roadside in Queensland, Australia with several feet of angry snake coiled around his arm, and flagged down a truck.
Budden, aged 20, was already an experienced snake handler, who specialised in collecting venomous species. The era of venom research in Australia was just taking off, and men like Budden were instrumental in capturing the serpents that scientists used to make antivenoms.

Re: 80-Year-Old Vintage Snake Venom Can Still Kill
Thanks for posting that. Such an interesting read. That's so cool that they have venom samples from species that are now extinct.

Re: 80-Year-Old Vintage Snake Venom Can Still Kill
Definitely an interesting read. I find it particularly fascinating that the venoms were still toxic -- I would have expected the compounds to have degraded.
