Tim Friede
Tim Friede is a former truck mechanic from Wisconsin who has dedicated nearly two decades to a remarkable self-immunization project, self-administering over 850 doses of venom from various lethal snake species. His extreme quest aims to develop immunity to snake bites, ultimately hoping to assist scientists in creating a universal antivenom. His groundbreaking research has led to the isolation of antibodies from his blood that are integral to a newly developed antivenom, which could revolutionize snake bite treatment and save countless lives.
