Antidote
An antidote is a substance which can counteract a form of
poisoning.Sometimes, the antidote for a particular
toxin is manufactured by injecting the toxin into an animal in small doses and the resulting
antibodies are extracted from the animals' blood. The
venom produced by some
snakes,
spiders, and other venomous animals is often treatable by the use of these
antivenoms, although a number do lack one, and a bite or sting from such an animal often results in death. Some animal venoms, especially those produced by
arthropods (e.g. certain
spiders,
scorpions,
bees, etc.) are only potentially lethal when they provoke allergic reactions and induce
anaphylactic shock; as such, there is no "antidote" for these venoms because it is not a form of poisoning, though anaphylactic shock can be treated (e.g., by the use of an
EpiPen).
