An experimental antivenom has been developed against dendrotoxins from the world's most feared venomous snake, the black mamba, which can be found in Africa. The experiments were carried out in collaboration between DTU and Instituto Clodomiro Picado in Costa Rica, and IONTAS in Cambridge, U.K., and the findings were recently published in the journal Nature Communications.

Lucky me. The snake is not available in my locality. 

By the way, it is really good news for the general population as well as health related personals who are living in the same area with the black mamba. It will be a life saving material.

Snake bites are not publicized like they should.  They really affect a lot of the world.  There are areas where they are epidemic.
