Seems kind of like maybe bee stings? That is something many people build up a serious allergic reaction to...the more often they are exposed to it, the more serious it becomes. Same thing with fire ants, for some people. I don't know if venom could be treated like a virus or bacteria that your body can build up an immunity to if carefully exposed. Sounds like "snake oil" to me!
