I too have heard of some folks injecting themselves but they are all neurotoxic. Thats a good point. I wonder if a person who has built up a tolerance for neurotoxic venom has ever tried this with hemotoxic (not sure if I spelled that right). I could see it going over much worse than neurotoxic. However I have never heard of people who are exposed to venomous snakes developing more serious reactions the longer they are exposed. Of course I dont have any venomous snake handling experience so my opinion isnt really all that valuable....
