Solution:

Snake anti-venom is a medication made up of antibodies. They are used to treat snake bites by poisonous snakes. It is a biological product that usually consists of antibodies that neutralize the venom of the snake.These are derived from a host animal, such as a horse or sheep. The venom is acted upon by WBCs of horse to produce antibodies in the body. These antibodies are then extracted. Further these venom neutralizing antibodies are enhanced by mixing them with other medicines.
