That wild, two of the snake handlers we observed were severely I mean severely reactive to venom he would walk into facility to teach us the class and demonstrate milking the snakes and he would immediately start coughing n sniffling bc he was having allergic reactions to the venom I’m guessing dried out airborn in the facilities.
He kept anti venom pins on the end of every single wall of snakes bc he was bit so often and sometimes would react like he was bit just walking in. But the thing is he was becoming allergic to the corfab so he kept two epi pins and the crofab pins at the end of every shelf dude was a wild man, missing a few digits from snake bites.
I’m going to check out ray hunter this evening

What is most concerning is that you can develop that allergy without knowing. You can get bit one time and make it, but the next one could kill you in minutes as opposed to hours.
There's a South African handler (he has all sorts of animals in his sanctuary) on YouTube who developed an allergy after one bite. Years ago he got bit by a black mamba. He made it out after being on a vent for a while, but started noticing that when he was around the snakes he would start having issues breathing and become itchy. He still keeps and catches nuisance snakes, but keeps a kit of epinephrine and adrenaline with him at all times. Dingo Dinkleman is his YouTube name. He used to have hundreds of videos on YouTube, but someone stole them all, filed copyright claims against him for his own stuff, and got the channel shut down completely. They started a new one and have been reloading the old videos along with new ones.
I don't get the whole venomous keeping just for the sake of having them. They're just too big a risk.
