The current treatment costs for snake bites are astronomical, according to an analysis completed by Dr. Leslie Boyer, BIO5 member and Director of the VIPER Institute at the UA, which helps to develop new anti-venom serums. She found that for a vial of anti-venom priced at $14,000 in the US, it cost just $14 to make – equivalent to 0.1% of the final cost.
