Pretty sure the good Lord Buckethead only runs against the Prime Minister in general elections.

I did a quick read of the article, and it uses antibodies that target the venom rather than directly protecting the bodys cells.

“This antibody works against one of the major toxins found across numerous snake species that contribute to tens of thousands of deaths every year,” says senior author Joseph Jardine, PhD, assistant professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research
