Tim Friede, a former truck mechanic from Wisconsin, embarked on an 18-year self-immunization experiment, voluntarily exposing himself to venom from some of the world’s deadliest snakes. His goal was to build immunity and contribute to the development of a universal antivenom. Friede’s dedication caught the attention of scientists at Centivax, a biotech company.
