Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Injection of antibodies to the toxin can neutralize the toxin and prevent further damage to the individual's body. Vaccination with a weakened form of the toxin may provide some protection in the future, but would not be effective in treating a current bite. Injection of interleukin-1 or interferon would not be effective in treating a snake bite.
