"Breakthrough: Universal Antivenom on the Horizon for Cobra, Krait, and Black Mamba Snake Bites"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers have made significant progress in developing a universal antivenom that can neutralize the effects of venom from any venomous snake by creating a lab-made antibody called 95Mat5, which can neutralize neurotoxins found in the venom of many snake species. This breakthrough could potentially replace traditional antivenoms, but additional antibodies are needed to neutralize other toxin types, and further research and human trials are required before a universal antivenom becomes available to snakebite victims.
