I wonder what kind of effect all those toxins does on his kidneys, as he mentioned in the documentary.
Seems like such a cool guy to talk to.
Lol, as if anyone's hands here won't be shaking while handing a venomous animal or working with needles/venom.
To all the edgy teenagers on this forum: Snake venom does not make you superhuman like this idiot on the documentary says. You do get immune to it after a while but that's because our body is designed this way, same with anti-biotics if you use too much of it, you're body starts resisting to it because it has adapted to a new defense mechanism. Venom is designed to kill the prey, it does not have the evolutionary advantages from the animal like you see in many comicbooks and movies(spiderman etc). It just kills or paralyzes and some can fuck you up more than the other. However some components in venom are quite new in medicine and that's why there is research for diseases like cancers. Oh and by the way venoms have a built-it preservation toxin that keeps the kills fresh so that's probably a reason the dude looks young.

Uh, your first sentence is completely opposite of what the rest of your post says.
Wouldn't be surprised if he gets employed as a professional snake handler or a test subject or something because not everyone is willing to do that sorta thing.

Umm, antibiotic resistance is due to adaptations by the bacteria, not due to your body resisting the antibiotics. Antibiotics are targeted at bacteria, eukaryotic cells aren't affected by them. Also, antibiotic resistance is due to people not taking full courses, partial courses are what causes bacterial strains to develop resistances, as is overprescription of the same types of broad spectrum antibiotics.
I won't dispute the fact that injecting venom is a stupid thing to do, but most of your post is simply false.
[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;39261863]what does he do for a job[/QUOTE]
This is where i would wish there was a "bad watching" rating.
He works with reptiles and tarantulas and shit.
This reminds me of back when i used to eat some toxic root when i was mad at myself.
I didnt feel Emo enough to cut myself :v:
I'd be up for trying this.

I basically meant the same but I probably poorly worded it. Antibiotic resistance is a known issue now with all the supermarket meat humans are consuming at this rate that is filled with antibiotics. So no idea if you implied that resistance can only be made with partly taken courses, but you're wrong.
Sadly, I can't help but think that at some point, his clogged blood is going to jam into his brain and he'll have an aneurysm.
Or they'll clog a valve in his heart.
But if he's doing what he likes and it's not hurting others (Except the part where he was being retarded on the road), he may do whatever.
