Antivenom
Antivenin (or Antivenom or antivenene) is a biological product used in the treatment of venomous bites or stings. Antivenom is created by milking venom from a relevant snake, spider, insect, or fish. The venom is then diluted and injected into a horse, sheep, rabbit, or goat. The subject animal will undergo an immune response to the venom, producing antibodies against the venom's active molecules which can then be harvested from the animal's blood and used to treat envenomation. Internationally, antivenoms must conform to the standards of pharmacopoeia and the World Health Organization (WHO).
==Terminology==
The name "antivenin" comes from the French word ''venin'', meaning venom, which in turn was derived from Latin ''venenum'', meaning poison.
Historically, the term ''antivenin'' was predominant around the world, its first published use being in 1895. In 1981, the World Health Organization decided that the preferred terminology in the English language would be ''venom'' and ''antivenom'' rather than ''venin'' and ''antivenin'' or ''venen'' and ''antivenene''.
