antivenin
Venom neutralizing serum
Antivenin is a serum used to treat venomous bites or stings, typically from snakes, spiders, or scorpions.
It contains antibodies that neutralize specific toxins.
The term is interchangeable with antivenom, though antivenin appears more often in medical and pharmaceutical contexts: The hospital kept antivenin on hand for rattlesnake bites.
