The kind of things some supposed sane people do their bodies! Mind blowing!!
Guys, meet Steve Ludwin, a 42-year-old snake obsessed rocker from
California. He is one of a just handful of people who regularly inject
venom from the world’s deadliest snakes into their bloodstream, in the
belief that it will make them immune to it.
Around 100,000 people around the world die from snake bites every
year, and another 250,000 are permanently disabled, but these statistics
don’t seem to scare Steve Ludwin. Every week for the past 23 years he
has been injecting a venom cocktail from the world’s most dangerous
snakes, trying to train his antibodies to resist the poison. By
gradually increasing the quantity and frequency of the injections, he
believes one day he will become immune not only to snake poison, but
other viruses as well.
Steve currently has a collection of 28 potentially deadly reptiles in
his home, but he is always on the lookout for new additions, scouring
European countries for missing specimens and attending snake
conventions. On injection days, he expertly milks his snakes for a
few milligrams of venom and visits an immunologist to have his killer
shot. Within minutes, the muscles in his arm quadruple in size for
around 24 hours, as his white blood cells struggle to fight off the
poison.
The doses he can take these days would kill the average person, but
Steve usually goes to a rock concert right after the injection… Check
him out below:
