The coral snake is among the most dangerous.

Antivenom (or antivenin or antivenene) is a biological product used in the treatment of venomous bites or stings. Antivenom is created by milking venom from the desired snake, spider or insect. The venom is then diluted and injected into a HORSE, sheep, goat or cat. The subject animal will undergo an immune response to the venom, producing antibodies against the venom's active molecule which can then be harvested from the animal's blood and used to treat envenomation. Internationally, antivenoms must conform to the standards of Pharmacopoeia and the World Health Organization (WHO).[1]

In the U.S. the only approved antivenom for pit viper (rattlesnake, copperhead and water moccasin) snakebite is based on a purified product made in sheep known as CroFab. It was approved by the FDA in October, 2000. U.S. coral snake antivenom is no longer manufactured, and remaining stocks of in-date antivenom for coral snakebite expired in the Fall of 2009, leaving the U.S. without a Coral snake antivenom. Efforts are being made to obtain approval for a coral snake antivenom produced in Mexico which would work against U.S. coral snakebite, but such approval remains speculative. In the absence of antivenom, all coral snakebite should be treated in a hospital by elective endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation until the effects of coral snake neurotoxins abate. It is important to remember that respiratory paralysis in coral snakebite can occur suddenly, often up to 12 or more hours after the bite, so intubation and ventilation should be employed in anticipation of respiratory failure and not after it occurs, when it may be too late.

I think it is interesting. Useful information for people who spend a lot of time outdoors and camping.

The quote that the in-date antivenom expired in 2009 makes perfect sense - the antivenom that could have been used expired in 2009, so at the moment there is nothing that can be used.

EDINA, Minn. — Charles W. Lindberg, the last survivor of the six Marines who raised the first American flag over Iwo Jima during World War II, has died. He was 86.

What on Earth does this have to do with the Iwo Jima's soldier reference ? ?

An Australian man has been killed by a bite from a tiger snake as he surfed the net on his computer. Michael Thorpe (43), from Perth, died after being bitten by the tiny tiger snake that was only about 30 cm long. Police say that Thorpe had delayed calling the emergency services and that led to the poison being able to spread and kill him quickly.

Thorpe died shortly after arriving at the Joondalup Health Campus. Health Department spokeswoman Crystal Fairbairn said that 77 people had so far been treated for snake bites in Western Australia this year.
